A Noble is just as happy to run on track as it is on road , they looked great at Rockingham last week .

I suppose the only thing to make sure you have for track is a track day sump , everything else is pretty much ok out the box .
of course there are things you can upgrade for reliability and performance but that is very much a choice rather than a necessity .

got to say though that im assuming the car has already had a fuel pump wiring upgrade !!!! this is a must even for a road going car but there cannot be many cars out there that have not already been upgraded .
A std car can also benefit massively from upgrades to the intercooler , dampers and tyres , changing these can make a big difference to the way the car drives and grips .
if I was buying a std car I would also consider the chocolate std diff in the 5 speed and the dodgy Noble quality exhaust manifolds that seem to crack very easily !!

That's the Problem with a std Noble you can do so much to improve what out the box is a stunning car to drive and why so many owners upgrade rather than sell .

Sorry for the late reply, thank you so much for all the knowledge and information. I know people will differ as to what to have mod wise but all your comments have been taken on board. I will take my time looking at a few as mentioned and not rush to find my perfect one. Thanks again and hope to be back with pictures of the one I have purchased :-)

Morning everyone, just a quick one. Servicing? I know there are some specialists out the mole valley, noble Motorsport and lotus centre. I am from the south east (Essex) where's the best place obviously I don't mind driving, and is it at early service or 6k? For a standard service without parts needed how much should I be planning?

Cheers in advance

Basic service at Bespoke in Ware usually costs me under £300 including a complete check over by Skippy who produces a list of things that might need attention before the next visit.

Can only be an oil change and basic check over for that money surely?

I've heard good things about jetstream. No haven't got one yet I'm really after an azure blue gto 3 or 3r that's been well looked after. Probably looking at the end of summer as there are not many out there atm. That's a really reasonable price for servicing pleasantly surprised :-). I'm from Hornchurch sjc.

Then you've got Kerridges in Needham market about 60 miles from you who I've used for 23 years. May want to have a chat with Steve on 01449 720222 and see what he's got coming in as well?
