According to Renault, the 0-60 is 7.7 (same as 16V) and top speed is 134mph.
But these figures conceal the rapido nature of the Willy. Over a set distance, the Willy will be quicker than most as it makes most of its torque at 2500rpm and has no less than 100% from 4000rpm (rare). Add the supreme suspension and youre onto a winner.
Most Willys are a lot quicker than the figures suggest. Many standard cars break the 15s barrier to the 1/4 mile and some lightly fettled ones have made the low 14s.
aha but I must correct you there Ben my old chum...I agree that the time is 7.7 seconds, but thats 0-100kph or 0-62mph in other words. The confusion over apparently identical or at least close times for the valver and Willy is because the valver figures are often quoted as 0-60, whereas the Willy ones are usually quoted as 0-62. The extra 2mph at the end of the timed run are a lot harder to cover than if they were at the beginning, so crazy as it may seem to cover that extra 2mph can noticeably take extra tenths of a second.
My definitive Renault figures are: Williams 0-62mph 7.7 seconds, 16 Valve 0-62mph 8.0 seconds.
In 0-60 terms thats around 7.8 for the valver and 7.5 for the Willy.

Most of them are unloved sh*tters which need a lot of work. There are some well loved examples though, I would buy private if I was to buy a Williams again. More likely to been cared for than a dealer sale which is probably a knackered part-ex which theyve tarted up. IMO
