Clio Williams No. 226 History and Information

: Clio Williams 1 No. 226 Plaque

Clio Williams No. 226 was originally the prize car won by Allister Lolye for the Gerard MotorSport team at the end of the 1993 RenaultSport Clio Cup Championship. The vehicle is No. 226 of a total of 400 UK Cars.

It has a leather folder full of all of the information about the history of the car and a full list of receipts and purchases for everything related to the car, including all old MOT certificates confirming the milage as genuine and demonstrating that the car has been owned by genuine enthusiasts throughout its life.

I purchased the car earlier this year to mechanically restore it, as it was in need of some TLC as the clutch had gone and the former owner had been made reduntant and didn’t plan to replace it. The car also needed a few items sourcing to bring it back to its former glory and to make it an original condition vehicle again.

22-02-09 Vehicle Purchase By Andrew Hughes on Trade Purchase Slip

MOT was carried out on – April 3^rd 2009 – 103099 miles

The following points were highlighted as advisory items:

- Nearside front Macpherson strut has slight movement in the upper support bearing

- Offside front Macpherson strut has slight movement in the upper support bearing

- Engine Noise

The engine noise that was mentioned on the MOT advisory note was Cambelt slap and it was decided that the Cambelt and Accessory belts would be changed to provide the new owner with a mechanically sound vehicle. These have been changed, and the vehicle runs perfectly.

The vehicle has been dry stored over the Summer of 2009 and has had the following works undertaken in my free time:

New Clutch (Valeo) Kit
Renault Cambelt Kit
Renault Accessory Belt
Brembo HC Front Discs
Ferodo DS2500 Front and Rear Brake Pads
4 x 185/55/15 Toyo Proxy T1-R
Replacement O/S Driveshaft
Valeo Radiator
Replacement Oil and Renault Filter
Replacement (Valeo) N/S Fog light
Exhaust Centre Section Repacked

The following parts are supplied with the car as there are a few elements that are non original items or that are missing.

I am supplying these items with the car, rather than fitting them and trying to hide the fact that the car isn’t quite original. These items are as follows:

Original Clio Williams parcel shelf and suit carrier as the one currently in the car is a Clio 1.8 16v item.
Replacement gearbox tunnel plastic trim, as at some point a car phone kit has been fitted into the passenger foot well – it has been removed without damaging the item more and pop riveted to hide the holes, but a replacement item is supplied.
Replacement dash cowling between the steering wheel and instrument panel, as initial immobiliser fob had been installed into this trim.
Replacement plastic engine covers.
Replacement Clio Williams rear ¼ trims. The rear quarter panel trims are not black as they should be – I ordered the replacement items from Renault, and they arrived in Silver, exactly as per the items on the car. I then discovered that all that needs to happen is that some Renault black tape needs applying to these trims to make them “Williams” items, rather than 1.8 16v items.
Brand New Renault Water pump – I thought that there may be some movement in the one on there – there wasn’t it was sound, and didn’t require replacing.
Replacement Williams Decals (non Renault) as the ones on there are a little faded.

Items that you may wish to amend / faults

O/S rear arch is rusting slightly.
N/S rear arch could also do with some attention; however the condition is not bad at all.
Driver’s door has a small ding in the metal work above the mirror.
A small patch of rust on the rear tailgate.
Driver’s seat has had a small repair to the cloth at some point in its history. It is about 9mm long and is not very noticeable at all.
The exhaust heat shield is missing – these are £60 from Renault – I can supply the part number if necessary.
