Lee Noble has left the building...

I think that it is sad that Lee has left Noble, but to be honest i am not surprised. Lee is a talented chassis designer... in fact an amazing one. However just because one can do 1 element doesn't mean that automatically he can do all aspects. This was always the difficulty with Lee. Also how many of you have worked with development people? sometimes commercial pressures, such as 'how much does this cost' spoilt the end result of just how good you could make something. However no one can sustain any business like this.

I have always said that Lee's ideal role is with a race team, here he would be perfectly suited. he could always tinker with the car, trying to make it better and better and compete with the best of them. Designing a road car to compete with serious cars such as Aston's, Ferrari's even Audi... never going to happen. It is pure economics people, work out the figures.

I do however wish lee all the best in the future, i hoped that it would have worked out for him this time. We had our ups and down but i do not wish him or his family ill

Glad to see that you're still lurking here Stuart - hoping all's well with you and your family.

Im just a noble car freek, who heard it from a factory employee, ask billieypsy he must have the same sorce as i do. i have been following the nobles and there cars for a number of years now and just feel very sad if what ive heard is true. the car is an english based product and should stay here with lee & carol at the helm.

What do you mean by "The Noble car is on it's way to America"?

[noblecarfreek]

its a rumour like i said, it seems like lee & carol are on there way out, the owner who bought lee out is american so the rumour has it he is taking the car the states

[Jenx]

Taking the car, or the company?

[noblecarfreek]

Both but watch this space!!!!

This has been going on for 9 days now. Is there nobody in the motoring press who has picked up on this if its true and asking difficult questions. It is a small marque but one that excites people in the petrolhead media - why aren't they probing on our behalf ?

It's interesting that a certain member of the Nobility, usually in vociferous denial of such "news" items, is very quiet on this!

[worty]

Probably because its just yet another unsubtantiated load of twoddle

worty

Like i said before watch this space, im sure the cat will be let out of the bag soon by somebody

[peterguk]

Have to say i'm finding the whole subject a bit of a bore. There are obviously a few people that know exactly what's going on and if i didn't know better are having a little fun playing...

When people say watch this space it usually means there's something good coming for us.
I can't see how the car and company going to the US can be anything but a disaster to be honest.
