Noble numbers!

[johns355]

Anyone got access to total Nobles on the road/sorned? Considering we're all getting these spoiler rubber feet (about 50 of us) surely that must be quite a high percentages of Nobles in the UK?

There's about 1200 M12/M400's

I thought it was less than that.
My research indicated the following, give or take one or two:
92 M12 GTO-2.5
116 M12 GTO-3
165 M12 GTO-3R
75 M400
240 3Rs and M400s sent to the USA.

So 688 in total.

Wikipedia facts

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_M12


220 Noble GTO-3Rs and M400s were imported to the U.S. They are the only Nobles available to the American market. The U.S. production rights to the M12s and M400s were sold in February 2007 to 1G Racing from Ohio. Due to high demand of these cars, 1G Racing (now Rossion Automotive) released its own improved car based on the M400, named Rossion Q1.

Guess made by U.S Noble forum members was about 80-85 M12's and about 135-140 M400's in the U.S.A

Here is a U.S registry, Not all of them have whereabouts but about 1/3 third of them are listed anyway.

Do you guys have a U.K registry?

Of the 165 3R's for the UK market I wonder how many are still around? Surely some have been exported and god forbid written off! I've heard before that someone in the motor trade can access certain info like this from the dvla database, anyone out there got any connections? John.

[Chapppers]

Theoretically we can all access this info on sites like "howmanyleft", except that for some reason Noble is lumped in somewhere with "other" and you can't find out. I suppose you could ring the factory (assuming they a)counted or b)didn't lose the bit of paper).

There's definitely not 1200 though, you don't see them often enough.

[Lofty999]

Classic car mag did a test in which it said approx 1500 worldwide,so 1200 in the uk might not be far off

[limee]

There was 99 2.5 cars thats fact. Made cars for 4.5 years roughly , most of the time 4 a week,
thats about 200 a year. So about 800 to 900, + the one's that were for u.s.a, but they went straight
From hi- tech.

My gto3 is build no 203 so surely more than 116 built for the uk?

Numbers probably didn't reset beck to zero so yours might include 2.5 sales?

[limee]

99 cars where made in 2.5 cc . Because the first 3.0 went to the motor show.

[Chapppers]

Surely Noble themselves will know exact numbers, so why doesn't someone just email or call and ask?

[AMG Merc]

Why the friggin hell won't the factory share the production numbers so all this speculation can be put to bed. We've asked and asked to no avail

[searsy]

Never even knew about the Rossion Q1, in effect as it's a Noble M12/400 with a new dress so surely some of the parts are interchangeable ie that fascia with the screen, that's where that central screen pic from USA thats been floating about comes from.
