Wibble....That looks incredible. Maybe what it needed, whip the roof off to add a bit more drama.

If I had £250k to spend on a car, the Noble would be seriously in the running. The McL is repeatedly said to be a touch clinical and cold in reviews, the Ferrari is the obvious choice, the Lambo has lost a bit of it's crazy Lambo character so the Noble would be firmly in the running as a car to scare the living daylights out of myself.

If I had spent the money on a small production car like that though, I'd not want Noble spreading build/chassis numbers on an internet forum though in case some creepy internet weirdo does their weirdo thing and starts trying to track the car down. Don't know why a bunch of people who will never be able to afford to buy one care so much about chassis/build numbers and how many have been sold. Noble haven't been reported as in any financial trouble, they've just struck a deal to address the distribution problems and it's getting much more press.
Setting a a blistering time on the 'ring is probably the last stepping stone to success. If they can trounce the Ferrari/Lambo/McL etc. round the ring, their selling point is being a Ferrari eater. A great selling point for rich dudes that want to willy wave.

Definite lottery win car, especially with the roof cut off! Power to them, I hope they can shift a few more, get more market power and possibly use that money to start attacking the £100k~ market with another car.
Oh the irony smile The chap who by his own admission hasn't got the money to spend on the car waxes lyrical and criticizes the people who are the actual target market and who have already voted with their wallets to shop elsewhere biggrin

Good luck Noble and Ruttboy but I think the car will never sell in big numbers (ie 50+) because it just hasn't. Hopefully the 10/annum will be enough to keep them providing an alternative to the more traditional and usable supercars.

You'll need some of that lottery win to hire a van and driver to follow behind you - carrying the roof which doesn't fit in the car.

Hi Chaps,

Sorry for not being on here for a little bit, but SVR have just completed a huge European Adventure which you will be able to read about in a forthcoming issue of Car Magazine, printed in December in this country.

Needless to say, we took our new M600 Demonstrator with us to compare against some very esteemed company and it performed faultlessly for the whole week, which is more than can be said for some of the other cars involved, providing a benchmark for our guests and their cars, and demonstrating what a great car it really is.

I am not going to spoil the story, as we will make the most out of it in December, but here are a couple of pics of the car for you.

Cheers,

Alan.

Alan - I hope the trip went well, why wasn't the 'group' at Goodwood last Sunday? Did plans change?

Hi Ian,

Yes, plans did change seeing as Goodwood wanted a significant amount of money to host us, and it just wasn't about that.
So we ended up at the Brooklands Hotel for the night and then held a private event at the St George's Hill Lawn Tennis Club at the request of the management there.

We were disappointed with Goodwood, but they have to protect their brand, so fully understand.

Here is some pics from our first Cars & Coffee @ The Hill.
The show will be made public from next year.

Cheers,
Alan.
