Hi All,

I have been thinking about selling my Noble for a Cobra kit. I have been weighing it up for about 6 months but i really do love the car. I was just looking for a bit of advice on what you guys think it would be worth? Some of you guys know the car but those that don't it's a titanium GTO3 with 38k on the clock, spec is below:

LSD
Re-mapped by Trevor Jasper (PH user "Yellowshed")
Recent electrical overhaul
New alternator
New ECU
New power steering radiator
New discs and pads
Floor sealed
Stainless manifolds
Titanium valve springs
Uprated gearbox (and tapped ready for oil cooler)
Pro Alloy Intercooler
Pro Alloy catch tank
Single wiper conversion
Fuel pump and wiring upgrade
Track day sump
Throttle re-routed (away from front turbo)
Full service history, MOT's, invoices etc etc

The only thing wrong (if you can all it that!) is the paint has micro blisters.

Any advice welcome!

Thanks all! What your all saying is where I thought it would be so thanks.

Well I sold my cobra and bought the noble and I have never regretted it for one second. You cant compare the handling for one thing and when it rains you get very wet!!! And after a long drive you go deaf!!!! Don't do it.

It's either a Cob or something else but both will be a project ending up being a little bit left field! I am leaning away from the cob though. I already have a big yank tank and am worried that it will be a bit 'samey' in terms of driving enjoyment. Variety is the spice of life and all that!

Left field you say?
My missus wanted to build a cobra, I thought I could build quite a left field one... however we decided to build a capri instead, it won't be a normal capri either as I'm making the entire body in carbon along with my own chassis and a 550bhp V10 engine.

Of cause I have kept the noble as well... will never sell the noble, its just too good now.

Interesting!!! Do you need to do iva test (or whatever they are called) if you are making your own chassis??
Either build a supercharge cob with a lean towards an aggressive road/race set up or restore an early 80's 911 for track but include my own touches. My fear is with the cobra is already have a 65 fastback mustang which I have taken to gt350 spec and sorted out the handling. I'm worried the cob will be a bit similar and the 911 will provide me with some rear engined high revving goodness.

Unfortunately yes, I could do what almost every other person seems to do and just build it and run it on the existing cars V5... But that's technically not legal and some people have been caught.

Wise, I guess the value when done will be more too if the paperwork is correct so worth the expense. I'm using PH less and less but would love to keep an eye on the build if you are thinking of doing a thread! Post up a link!

i'm going to keep her. 2 people came to look round her and when i was giving them a test drive I just remembered how much I loved it.
