Great find, looks great.

I owned my Williams 1 from 1999-2002 and loved it, to this day the longest I’ve kept any car. Great fun to drive, amazing on the B roads and better than my 205 1.9 GTi I owned prior.

Pugs were great cars and still are. I remember my dad coming home with a black 1.9 gti. G65 LCW. It was a pretty much new car at 5000 mls. Dad worked really hard as a lorry mechanic and he deserved it as we lived on the breadline and under in those days.

With that said your making me want to drive mine now saying that you W1 was better than your pug. Can you remember the number?

Thanks. Not really sure to be honest at this point in time. What would you do? I'd be worried to take it out on our roads these days. I've got access to a runway for blast if I do decide to get it going.

I own a 94 Clio 16v, so admittedly, not quite as special as a Williams. But it would be a crying shame not to use the car. I get that its a rare W1 and low mileage too, but even if you put 10k on it, it will still be one of the lowest mileage W1s in the country, unlikely to affect the resale value if you're honest with yourself.

There is absolutely no way I could own a Williams (or any other car for that matter) and not drive it. I just don't see the appeal of keeping for resale without using.

Hi. Yeah I know what your saying, I can't wait to drive it. But dry miles on a Sunday afternoon! My wife used to run a w2 as her daily driver.

Not at all. You certainly used the car for what it was designed to do! More pics of 0062 please! 💪

Sorry if I missed it but -

Why has it done so few miles?! Whats the back story?

I hope for your wallets sake previous owner didnt know value!

Hi. The chap I brought it from kind of knew that this car was a future classic and actually brought it as an investment. I got to say it wasn't cheap, however I would of paid more for it if I had to.
