Hi Everyone!

As you can see, I'm new to the forum so I wanted to introduce myself

My name's Dave, and I first came across the Coupe when I was reading Autocar in 1996:


However, at the time I owned a 1.8 16V Renault Clio, and even though I was tempted change for a 20VT Coupe, more than anything I wanted a Clio Williams. So, in 1998 that's exactly what I did, and I still have the car to this day

Now though, I'm looking to compliment the Clio with a 20VT Coupe. I'm looking for one which has been well looked after and in excellent condition. I'll post further details in the 'Wanted' section, but for now.....Hello!!!

Cheers,
Dave

Hiya Dave

Nice looking Williams you have there, I always fancied one of these but found being 6'4" a slight issue with such a small car.

Happy hunting for a Coupé, take your time and buy a solid one, please

Hi and welcome

Welcome. I think I still have a copy of that magazine

Hi and Welcome Dave .

Hello Dave, nice rare car you have there Not many of those left these days. Happy Coupe hunting

Hi and good luck with the search. That Clio looks well looked after

Thanks for the lovely welcome everyone!

The Clio has just ticked over to 51,000 miles. I've kept it in pretty good condition over the years and it only comes out now for short runs. For example, it recently went for an MOT and it had done just 56 miles in the last year

As for a Coupe, well I've started reading all the information on the site (congrats to everyone who has contributed, as it appears VERY comprehensive!) and I'm coming to the conclusion that rust is a big killer (isn't it always on older cars), and anything which has been treated with less than full care and attention could easily be a money pit.

Ideally, I'll go for an LE or Plus, but a tidy 20v Turbo would also be a goer. Having had a quick look through ebay and Gumtree, then this looks like the best on offer

Is there anywhere else I should be looking which may throw up other choices?

Also, I'm based on the Lincs/Cambs border so I was wondering if there are any interesting clubs/meets which would be worth attending.

Thanks for your help

Hi and welcome.

Hi Dave, welcome to the forum!

Hi Dave. Good luck Turbo hunting.

Good ones are pretty rare these days, but bide your time.

Hello and welcome !
Nice car you have there, you really need to keep it.
And good luck with your search.

There is a 300+ bhp silver up for sale that will be a good buy for someone ...

That mileage .... is only just run in!

Link not working for me Phil...

Try again....

Its got a sunroof as well ...

Dave this one is worth travelling for if you're looking for a good example, 320ftlbs of awesome sounding five cylinder fun

Thanks for all the replies guys! - I'm after an original (as standard as possible) low mileage coupe (the silver one doesn't do it for me in that respect), so I'll post a wanted ad and see what turns up.

Cheers.

The "standard" choice, the best one
