Midlifecrisis I am sure there was a few guys trying to view this and the garage said they did not have it ready.
Was there not a post thinking that it had some paint repairs to.
It's to cheap for a M400 ....
Of course eventually it will be worth having for parts smile
So I have spoken to the garage with the M400, service history is OK, not perfect. He assures me the silver paint all matches perfectly. New clutch & seat bolster, stone chips sprayed on the nose.
I'm still stuck for the big negative I was looking for. Other than the fact its factory standard & exhaust will need replacing amongst other things.....
My M400 is 10 years old, done 40,000 miles and still on it's original exhaust, and still
fine.

If you look at the M400 picture the passenger side quarter panel next to the door is a different colour.So I would De a bit concerned about this. That's a strange place to have paintwork done.

Yeah I thought the same, the guy selling said he didnt know what i meant, in the flesh it looks perfect and its just the light !
Looked odd to me too, like both clams and door had been replaced ! otherwise its the roof & centre and i cant see that needing paint.

I would go and view it but its 300 miles away

Why don't you get someone like the AA to do a general check first ? Then if it comes back ok it'll be worth coming down to do a more Noble specific one yourself ?

I think it's on the AA's list of 'do not touch'. - They wont look at nobles
