What happened to the Ultima MK1 Press Car? reg. ULT 1MA

[anonymous-user]

Hi, i've just seen this:


I saw it on Ultima's website; the Ultima MK1 which was developed by Lee Noble from Noble in the 80's.
Now, what's become of it now? Is it just a rusty heap in someone's shed seeing it was an ex-demo, or has it been preserved?

There is a MK1, on Ultima's site with the reg plate NUT 6028.


Another, MK2, was owned by a Ted Marlow and was Noble Motorsports' first customer.


What happened to all these old Ultima's?

i think we should find the appropiate conclusion for this

ULT 1MA isn't a valid reg number.

HTH.

NUT6028 wouldn't be a valid plat, either. GB never used AAA9999, only Northern Ireland - but NUT doesn't include I or Z.

NUT602B?
NUI6028? But why would it be on an NI plate?

Either way, both the white cars look to be the same car.

at least one of those cars was sold wihtin the last 10 years again by the Ultima factory............ it was actually advertised by them.... I cant remember which one or exactly when though.
Pretty sure the Factory will know though and be able to give you a pretty accurate answer to your original question too.

Ah, it's NUT 602P

I saw the first Ultima up at the factory a year or so back. They had refurbished it for it's current owner so it looked almost new.

Don't worry, it is being preserved.

Ah, that's good!
What about Ted Marlow's red Ultima which he experimented on in the drive of his semi and later purchased the company off Lee Noble and created the GTR ?

One more thing Paul,
Is the Ultima being preserved reg no. NUT 602P? Do you know anything about Ted's red MK1?
Thanks

[Storer]

No idea about the registration number or the red one.

Contact the Factory who I am sure can fill the blanks.
