Description
Up for sale is my beloved Clio Williams 3. I've owned this car since 2012 and in the last 14 years have only covered around 3000 miles. It has always been kept garaged and dry, regularly maintained and serviced and very well looked after.
As seen in the photos the bodywork is in excellent condition, no dents or damage. The paintwork is in good condition, over the past few years a few tiny bubbles have appeared in a couple of sections and some areas are showing imperfections. however it is generally in very good condition and you can only tell when you inspect.
The interior is in excellent condition all dials and gauges work perfectly, the seats are immaculate, original carpets and i still have the original factory front mats.
Mechanically the car runs and drives fantastic, i've been very fortunate in that all the time i've owned it it has only needed general servicing and maintenance. I've never had any mechanical issues other than a crunch that developed between gear changes which was rectified in 2024.
I have an aftermarket air filter (BMC) but still have the original. Scorpion exhaust backbox. in August 2024 the car had some mechanical work carried out:
Front brake discs (both)
Front brake pads (both)
Front brake callipers (both)
Brake hoses and fluids replaced
Gearbox was reconditioned due to crunch 3rd-4th
Gearbox bearing kit/ gear hubs
Rear brake discs (both)
Rear brake pads (both)
Fuel filter and treatment fitted
New battery
New clutch kit
Welded a patch under osf seat
Full service (fluids and filters)
Brand new set of Michelin Pilot Primacy Tyres (4) (only covered 100 miles)
All the wheel arches have been replaced back in 2011 so none of them are rusted which is a common problem.
Wheels were refurbished in 2012.
Everything electrical works.
Original stereo (blaupunkt correct to the williams 3 not phillips)
Cobra alarm installed with remote central locking
Private plate included *** 3 RCW
And i have a few spare bits and pieces as seen in the pics.
This car has been very lovingly well looked after, i've enjoyed every minute of owning it and the only reason for the sale is because i am moving to America.
I bought this car when i was 22 because i loved it growing up as a kid, and at 22 had the opportunity to buy one. My local mechanic was selling it, so i bought it, and 12 years later i took it back to him for the recent works that were carried out (he said wished he never sold it).
I own and have owned many cars that are faster, more luxury, more expensive, but none of them bring me the joy that this Williams brings. When you drive it, it simply makes you enjoy driving again. Back to bare basics, 3 pedals, gearstick, a steering wheel and a massive smile on your face. As i mentioned the only reason for the sale is that my family and I are relocating to the USA otherwise i'd keep this for another 14 years or longer!
