GTO 3R Test Drive

[GI Jnr]

Went out in a 3R over the wekend for the first time.

It was hammering it down with rain, but still managed to corner a roundabout faster than our T350C on a "damp road", which is something.

Very impressive traction! Need an extensive drive in the dry to test the performance...

Blimey, just looked at your profile - you do like your TVRs, don't you! I first drove the M12 back-to-back against the T350 (in the dry), and there's a big, big difference - the M12 is much easier to drive fast.

Love the 1900 Austin Mini in your profile

Just had a wander onto your website - seems a Noble would make an ideal companion for your fleet.

Although your "the fleet", "register", "gallery" and "about tangent" don't seem to work.

Edited: Ah - they seem to work now - something funny going on...

Oops, I'll have to amend that to 900cc...

That's what we thought, it felt like it had everything that was good about an Elise, but with much much more...

Yep - I've always thought that "grown up elise" fits the M12 perfectly as a reference description.

... I had an M250 on order which I saw as a grown up elise, Noble seem to have nipped in and met the requirement very smartly.

Am very seriously considering having a look at one as a trade for the 350c so your comments very interesting

Ditto for me - Lost my deposit - which is why I will probably never buy another new Lotus..... Long live Noble!

Bit harsh, why did you lose your deposit?

Cheers

Long Story - was with the dealer in Salisbury....

... so did I. Would have preferred the car though.

Getting back to Noble where is the nearest dealership to Milton Keynes to go along and have a look at one !!!!

(Ideally a TVR dealership as well so I can think about a trade in)

Apex, I live near MK and have ordered my 3R from Nick Whale Sportscars Birmingham (Great service/factory visit/drive etc). Sturridges in Leicester may be a little closer though if you want to give them a try.

Have Sturgess and Kerridges merged then??

To those prospective buyers in Milton Keynes, i'm just a stones throw away so if you want a demo it gives me a good excuse for a quick thrash

Although mine is only a poor little 2.5L
