Had my new M400 for 7 weeks now. Few small issues being sorted out by dealer. Not found anything that can run with it yet (including bikes). Thumbs up for Lee Noble and the guys for a great product.

Congrats Cornel!

So are you running it in Gauteng??! Must make a stir driving around Sandton or stopped at the lights in Hillbrow

Excellent

Who is going to maintain the car for you? I'd be quite tempted to get a Noble in Cape Town if there was regional support.

Locally supported by Lazarus motors in Centurion. Talk to Neville Richie at 0836780003. He sold the black M400 that was on the Africa Auto show to someone in Cape Town last Friday.

I am out in Cape Town just now and everyone I have spoken to here including the taxi drivers does not know what a Noble is!

Where is the Noble factory ?

Just outside PE, so a bit of trek from Cape Town sadly.

Our place is in Hout Bay, but sadly no Noble there at present. That might soon change though, in light of this new thread

The chapmans peak drive in an M12 must be close to motoring perfection

Hi Cornel

I am the the guy that ordered the M400 in Cape Town. I didn't take the black though, am getting a Titanium one as well! Delivery early Dec, can't wait. Did your car go back to Lazarus, as there were a few getting some work done when I was there to do the testdrive. Not surprising as these are the first batch getting motors fitted locally.

Enjoy.
Ian

Hi stuh

I know what you mean. Did that drive yesterday. (Tour bus sadly!) My wife reckoned it was similar to the mountain roads in Monaco etc.

Saw a nice Ferrari today and a Lambo also.

Amazing isn't it! The view as you come round that final large bend and see the miles of Noedhoek beach, really takes your breah away.

I guess being in the black gold business your based out in Mossel Bay or somewhere?

Looking forward to seeing the M400 parked up in Camps bay when i go out for the cricket in a few weeks
