Good afternoon

I have always wanted to own a Noble and the time has come that I am in the position to buy.

I know some of the mods that are almost essential tunnel mod, twin fan and track day sump. What other things should I also be looking out for.

Any help, advice would be greatly appriciated. I would prefer a GTO 3 or 3r but if the right GTO came up I would be interested.

Thank you in advance
Zac

Thank you to the both of you it's really appreciated just got to wait for a few to come up with a good spec then go and have a real look over them.

From what you have said aim for a nice GTO 3R as that has everything needed. If a well spec'd GTO 3 comes up with 6 speed box, LSD and few other bits come up I will loom also.

Anything further advice warmly welcomed.

Kind regards

Sorry didn't want to start an argument. I will look at them over the summer but they are very few and far between atm as you all know due to the summer almost on our door step. Least that gives me time to have a good look at a few and then aim to buy late summer. I wouldn't never fun the noble as my sole car it would be in the garage and used weekend and nice weather.

Thanks for everyone's advice it goes a long way. Can't wait to get one and join the noble community :-)

Cheers tuxman. I tried to look at jetsteams but they do not have a specific website to look at it and there are a load of Ross Docherty's on Facebook.

Tuxman, I can't thank you enough for allowing me onto the Facebook page. I will be looking through very shortly.

D b have you got any pictures?if so I will give you my email address. The noble will not be tracked will be just used as a weekend car and will not be sold will be kept forever as it is what I have dreamed of since 2001 when the 1st on came out.

That is true, might have to do a couple but I know how addictive they are. Brand hatch only around the corner ........ That's just dangerous :-). Yes I can see exactly where your coming from.

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

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.

Don't get me wrong it's a beautiful colour but I want my noble loud or a lighter colour. I can't fault Ross's noble it is absolutely stunning with a lovely spec.

I know what everyone is saying. I have spoke to jetstream and they are emailing me over the one they have for sale also. I was looking 6 years back for one, I know what you mean about choice decreasing and also the price increasing should have got it back then. So I am going to kick myself this time around will have to compromise and take my time. How much would a full respray be then chapters ;-)
