Hi All,

Just starting to research Nobles to decide what to look for (leaning towards 3R or M400 but budget may dictate otherwise) and what mods to look out for but I can't find any details on what colours should be available.

Seen plenty of Metallic Blue, Silver, Black, some Red, a few Yellow in photos here but only a very small number of other colours.

Is there a list of standard colours anywhere online?

Thanks in advance.

Graham

Well, I don't know what colours should be out there, but I do like this one



Would this be a standard colour?

The mirrors and rear wing are also fabulous!

Haven't seen a list of standard colours, but the more common colours seem to be (metallic and non-metallic options):

- Blue (shades in Azure, Indigo, Portofino)
- Silver (shades in Titanium and Larch)
- Red (shades in Monza and Burgandy)
- Black (shades in Diamond and Carbon)
- Yellow (Jasmine)
- Green (shades in Mallory and Racing)

My understanding is that individual and one-off colour selections could be requested by new owners at the factory stage and now some current-generation owners are doing their own custom colour re-sprays. Some less common ones I've seen mentioned are:

- Grey (Viper)
- White
- Orange
- Turquoise

Hope this helps!

Hi Grant,

Yes, that's very helpful.

I realise, that finding the "right" car is the most important thing and going for specific colours may be too restrictive, but it's good to know what should be available.

I think I've seen all those "more common" colours apart from the Burgundy, Indigo and Racing then - I think the one I put up is Mallory? - so I'll try and find examples of those 3.

Thanks & Regards

Graham

Once you start looking you'll quickly realise you can't pick a colour if you want one reasonably quickly.

I wasn't able to but I get a lot of compliments about the colour even if it wouldn't have been my choice.

Thanks again Grant

Chappers, yes I realise that, but if it takes me a year to find the right car I won't be too bothered - I'll just be able enjoy the latest round of mods on my current car for a while! cool

Fair enough. To be fair I do quite like the colour of mine, so it's not a problem. I might not have bought it however if it was, say, bright ridiculous green hehe

I did a fake carbon v8 vantage 2 years ago and it fooled a lot of people as it wasn't known. Now it's not a good look unless it's on a corsa 1.2 smile
