why, and was it a dog, some people have different ideas of mint dont they
yea, same.. although, true mint would have original paint (on the main panels.. front wings, bonnet etc.. are easily changed when mint ones become available). Parking dents, slight scratches cant be helped!Quote: Originally posted by 182blue on 12 December 2004
my idea of mint is no accidents, no scratches/ rust or rips, and no sh*tty paint jobs i will accept the slightest parking dent and a few stone chips, thats my idea of mint !!

If you are looking for a Williams, and want *true* mint.. look forward to looking at lots and lots. It took Mat and myself 2 years pretty much to find two mint Williams.. they are very very very rare. Every other one we saw had paint on the rear arches or roof or another none-bolt-on part.
Its a lot easier if you compromise.. especially on the original paint part.. hehe.. the rear arches usually rust like a good un on em.
Body work can easily be repaired by a good body shop. Its not so easy, or as cheap, to sort the long list of mechanical problems most Williams have. Id go for a mechanically sound car over a cosmetically sound one. If you want both, get your wallet out and give your bank manager a call.
The most important thing is to make sure ITS NOT BEEN BENT IN A CRASH. IF IT HAS IT WILL NEVER HANDLE LIKE IT SHOULD AGAIN. IMO.
