RE: Noble M600 reborn and revisited

[waremark]

That interior hardly looks like an improvement on what was in the M12 15 years ago - I cannot see how that lives up to a price more than 4 times higher. It seems that the sole selling point is the apparently superb driving experience.

I'm going to be diplomatic here and excuse your ignorance, by simply saying you're mistaken.

You don't say much but are obviously a fan. Why do you think he's ignorant and mistaken? I personally think he might be right.

If you're going to make harsh comments like the above it would be helpful to explain.

Looks like a kit car, built by a company that after going belly up, leave you with a dustbin only a handful of extremists will want off you, for peanuts.

He's never seen one in person.

Comparing the interior of the M600 to that of the M12 is absolutely laughable.

The interior of the M600 doesn't look too bad. It's never going to be up to the standard of Porsche or McLaren, but still passable. The M12 interior however was the main reason I bought a Lotus instead.

It is not selling because it does not look like a £300k car.

Also, the interior leaves a lot to be desired.




Hats off to SVR if they can get the car selling.

Looks OK here.




I would still have this over any ferrari or Mclaren.

Don't be daft, anyone can tell that's been lifted straight out of a 2001 M12 and they've just got a failed painter/decorator/Blue Peter presenter to stick a bit of sticky backed plastic over it.

If I'm honest I like the M12 interior it's functional but not cluttered. But yeah you can tell they are identcal

That really is shocking!

I'd view that as a bit ropy if it was the interior of a £35K kit car. What are they thinking?!

Here's SVR's showroom stock.

Going by the sort of high end stuff they sell, do you honestly think they would be involved in selling anything that was a true refection of that pic?

The answer would appear to be yes (picture from their website):

So from that, you can tell the quality of the materials and stitching, whether the carbon is fake or not, the feel of the switchgear?
I will assume, that this is yet another post from someone who has never seen one or sat in one?
They wouldn't,I assure you.

[sjc]

All I hope people is that if SVR do get their PH brekkie meet date sorted, those that manage to go will at least have the decency to pop back on this thread and say their perceptions were maybe misguided (styling aside at that's subjective,and even I'd admit needs reviewing at the front).
Actually this is PH so not going to happen.. so lets say I hope those that those that constantly diss it might be big enough to at least admit they were "pleasantly surprised".
And remember, SVR will be putting their and Noble's reputation on the line, even to people who will never afford one but are happy to find fault everywhere....so they must be very very confident baring in mind how many alleged car enthusiasts read PH.

Considering that interior has done 48K miles it's stood up pretty well.

No, but I can tell the quality of the design, and the presentation.

Both of which are simply atrocious.

To be fair, they're better than the interior on the M12, which was even more amateurish and was the single thing that stopped me buying one.

[SirSquidalot]

Pistonheads - interior switchgear matters!

For all the hate noble gets on their interior i cant understand why Lamboghini dont for the aventador, it looks horrid inside!

And such a bargain, for a mere £178,000.

The black and blue is not a good choice, but I assume given the level that these cars can be bespoked, it is the taste and prerogative of the buyer. The black and orange stitching is quite nice.

I like the interior, basic and functional - I don't like the gaudy, fussy interiors of e.g. recent Ferraris, they look so try-hard. Having said that, I do like the Cerbera interior, which is a bit off-the-wall to say the least.

Not to my taste, either, but at least it looks as if it has been designed, rather than just cobbled together from aftermarket parts catalogues and whatever odd bits and pieces were lying around the trim shop.

As xRIEx says, TVR did interior design a lot better and more imaginatively (and with bespoke switchgear and instrument panels), for a fraction of the price.

This is simply not good enough for a £200K car.
