They have gone to the effort of making them RHD, what's the chance of seeing them here?? Like the bit about how different they are to the M400, only the front screen and the rear screen are the same.........scratchchin sure I've seen those door handles somewhere before hehe
Would be great to get them here!!

Yes, Rossion has always brought up the thought of import, but now they are producing a RHD version, this is more of a reality. I was wondering if Noble has a block on the Q1 not being allowed to be sold into the UK. It would seem strange if this is the case as the Q1 and M600 are a world apart in terms of target audience.
If I were Noble UK, I would be looking at expanding the business by importing these and selling them through their dealer network, that way hitting two target markets. bet they would sell atleast ten Q1's for every M600.
But I'm not, but do export to Africa, scratchchin group buy anyone???!!! biggrin

Yes would be the answer, but by how much would be anyones guess. If they did import I would be very interested, but would need to sell mine. I think it would also depend on what they called it. If it was marketed as a Noble Q1 for example then it would devalue our cars. I'm just looking at this from a selfish point of view due to the ageing woes of our cars, a nice new replacement would be great.

No, IMHO! It would only enhance the marque and increase interest for the Noble 'Classic' which "ours" would become sonar

And, I'd expect the list price for a Rossion would be 2x to 3x the street price of an M12 so easy segregation.

Yes same engine but starts off life in a scrap yard then gets rebuilt or in technical terms remanufactured smash

did the UK noble had forged internal? Boost management is different, idle control is via ICV, not engine tuning, throttle cable is routed differently, interior is more modern...
lots of differences. Rossion learned from their days distributing Nobles and I think overall made a better product, as far as look goes I prefer M400, but that's personnal and if I had the money I would probably have bought a Rossion rather than the Noble regardless of its look.

$114,000 for a new one

I really like them.

Been in contact with Rossion recently and apparently there is an embargo on them selling them in the UK. But maybe with enough interest they might be able to persuade Noble. Besides, I believe there is a hole in the marketplace. How many of us can afford a £200,000 M600.
