1996 Williams Clio. One of the guys mates at work is a trader and has one in at the moment, stupidly cheap.
Are they any good? reliable how about handling wise as i may buy it to go to work etc, then when the corsa is sorted track it?
Anything to look out for?

And yes, i know this is corsasport, but many people are wise to the world on here

Gearbox is different in the Williams I think, so it's not the weak one, the 1.8 16v one is.

1996 would be a Williams 3, so will have a sunroof, which might leak.

They were, the Williams and Williams 2 were the same colour, which was slightly darker than the blue on the Williams 3 though.

All of them had the same wheel design and colour, but the 3's were 7" wide, rather than 6.5"
