Hi Guys,
Purchased in March from the UK and driven across Europe to it's new home in Malta.



It's No 218 of the original first 500 made, still drives like a dream and is a lot of fun.

Oh Lord, please mind out on some of those maltese roads, potholed to hell! Having said that some of the more main roads are very nice and smooth/fast. Looks lovely mate, did you have to pay the mega import duty on it as I understand new cars sold in malata have a huge levy placed on them?

Hi Guys, thanks for all the comments, the roads are getting better, so it's quite fun to drive over here as you need a fast excellerating car and not so much a fast top end one. Getting it taxed and registered over here was a nightmare, as it is the only one here they had no records of costs etc etc, but i managed to get all the paperwork and they charged me just over a grand euro to register it and i pay a heavy 500 year road tax as its over 14yrs and is a 2.0 ltr.(eco /tree hugging mentality from the EU)
It's an original Clio williams 1 numbered 218 of the orginal 500 ever made in rhd. no rust and its done 130000k and drives like a dream, it's bog standard apart from being slightly lowered by the previous owner. I've just finished refurbing the rims and put on new TOYO PROXES, apart from that only plans i have is to fit new speakers all round and front torsion bar.

Awesome car mate. Love it. Once had a 16v and loved it to pieces. Have always wanted a Williams. Take good care of it.
