Well when I typed it into google it only brings up the car I posted and then loads of computer generated images, so if they are out there they certaintly arn't being captured on camera!.

If the company operates like Aston Martin/Porsche/probably loads of others, that'll be their press plate and it'll go on any car that's being put on public display. Aston Martin use V12 AML on whatever's appropriate, Porsche have 911 GB, and so on. That said, since so few are made (I think it's fifty a year?) then it's quite possibly the same car smile

I haven't seen a production model, but living down the road from their base, I have seen gaffered-up and camouflaged mules being driven around from pre-prod testing.

I think they're an outstanding car, and sincerely hope they can sell every one they can build - because if they can become a volume player and get the prices down, they have serious potential!

There seems to be another hack knocking about but that's it.

The blue M600 is a pre production car, I don't think it's carbon fibre and it's quite rough around the edges. Not sure when they start on making the finished product but it wants to be soon, they've had no income in years

I've seen a black one and one in that sky blue in the flesh. I'm pretty sure I've seen pictures of one in that dark blue similar to the M15 prototype as well.
Ironically, I've only seen 1 more M12 GTO in real life, and that was at the Birmingham Motorshow a while back. Mind you, I see one driving back from work almost every day.

They could relocate the factory to Blackpool and put a Russian in charge....

I think he means that Noble have no plans to make anything other than high-end supercars, which is not what I meant - I meant gaining the capability to do what they do now, but without charging quite so eye-wateringly much for it.

They are still working on it. I think it was in Evo a while back that they had gone back to revise a lot of the car prior to a proper release. I read that as finance issues seeing as they had pimped the press car out all over the place already. Why go back and change things after the press have driven/loved it?

still hasn't grown on me so i don't think it ever will. the 90's front end certainly doesn't do it any favours, definitely a lot go but not much 'show'
