I realise that and I wasn't disregarding the fact of the outlay it would take, It was just a simple suggestion of something that would be beneficial if it ever did get to the point parts were becoming difficult to come by. I relaise if someone did do it they would have to make their money out of it too for it to be worthwhile.
No it's a good suggestion you're correct. At the moment generally things are fine. If things change then we can all revisit it and see what's best. All the shop software is on NobleParts ready to go. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Well, that isn't me.

Oh, and as deposits paid by CC are covered by the consumer credit act, you are talking out of your smelly bit.

I can now see Nobles plan with the 3 years of delay, only another 3 to go and they'll be off the hook wink

Consumer Credit Act Section 75 - "The law of limitations says that a claim cannot be made after a period of 6 years"

I'm not sure I'd really want a Noble that's not a Noble.... if you know what I mean !

When the new car arrives now, I guess the price and designer uncertainty may well open up a few other options. I guess lots of the existing owners that put deposits down did so because they liked what Lee did with the 12.

Right, Noble Automotive has effectively become a faceless corporation - Lee was the face and personality - they have none!

To be fair AMG you've not been happy with the personality or the lack of face of Noble over the last year so this COULD be an improvement.

I'm waiting for more news and when I have something to judge I'll make a choice until then silence is irritating but potentially worth the £100 a year loss of interest on my deposit money.

Frustrating to be so much in the dark but I have bigger frustrations and few if any of them are associated with so much anticipation.

Wherever you are Lee I wish you luck.

Whoever is in carge of the factory as per usual MORE COMMUNICATION PLEASE!

I think it is a figthingy of his imagination, Lee could be an employee of anyone if anyone considered him employable!
