What a Noble would be like to drive.... But this afternoon I gave in to pressure and drove a 3R. OMFG, what a great car biggrin I have a rather quick Chimaera, and, like many TVR owners, think nothing could come close to the best of Blackpools finest. This afternoon I drove one of the best cars I have ever driven, and I've driven a few. Hats off guys, I may be joining your ranks soon smile

Cheers,

And you will never go back ( from a 4 time TVR owner).

Well up until April, I had owned a Chimaera 500 for 12 years.
Since Monday, I have owned a 3R.
I concur sir - the difference is immense! biggrin

So, if there are so many TVR owners switching to Nobles, I can only assume that values will increase as they have with the Sagaris .......!!!!

I had a fairly well tuned Chim 500 that I was going to keep long term as I was a huge fan of TVR. Two years in, my mate bought a 2.5 Noble & I was chasng him around some country lanes and commented how well he was going, and how I was finding it difficult keeping up with him. He asked me to try the Noble, and within a week I had swapped the 500 for a 3R.

That was 6 years ago, and the Noble is still in my garage.

I remember the transition as we were talking about it in a pub after you came along to a meet with Paul.

Completely been in love with noble for almost ten years now, and as a true girl racer the look is enough to excite most. Still waiting for the right time to satisfy that erg but best be quick, as they are def holding their money (but shhhhh). A lot of kit for the price tag if you're not worried about the lack of driver aids!! If you don't have deep enough pockets for a 360, the sticker "Ferrari Eater" on one example made me chuckle. Went to the NW car meet at www.cholmondeleyarms.co.uk a few weeks ago (fabulous roads locally) and experienced the car for the first time, unbelievably amazing........ more to the point, it's British :-)
