Nice spider Noble. Is this a concept or are they build and used?

[V6GTO]

They had one at the NEC show, but it's on the back burner so they can concentrate on the M14. It would be plain silly to overstretch themselves, and seeing as they have a couple of £millions in orders for the M14 they went for that.

Also people bitched about the move to a single turbo. Roof was complicated too, so I think its being thought over a bit.

I just had a look at the photo,
Is it just me or is the front clam and headlamp arrangement a nice design?
I really really like it.

I would buy one if they came on sale

Yep...much nicer than the classic. (But then again, not as nice as a 3r!)

Must say, the "quirky-ness" of the M10 holds a lot of
attraction to me. Looking forward to seeing the first production car at Rockingham in March - IIRC the naturally aspirated 2.5 can make the car move at a fair pace. The side-on profile with a looooonnng rear deck, with flat -ish folded hood in my eyes is sensational, something many more modern convertibles lack.

Roll-on Noble Owners Day - wonder if the M10 will be on static display, or if a few parade laps will be driven?

PS If you have checked my profile, fear not the MX-5 will be at base - will be co-piloting MikeN's GTO!

Since the M10 is on loan from a generous owner, I'm afraid it is at Rockingham only as a static display vehicle. Sorry!

Best car there IMHO. In black with that huge rear wing I couldn't take my eyes off it!

[dinkel]

So, a shame they don't make 'em . . . ?

I prefer it to the M12 GTO too. The smaller lights make the cutouts for the lamps smaller and more like the tuscans.

I think this is the best looking Noble I've ever seen . . .

[DanH]

Not convinced its the better than the m14. To my eye, none of them are stunners really

Yours is, is it?

We all think so! I think what Dan was saying is that there is room for improvement, but nobody can deny the way a Noble stuns people as it passes so, in anyones language, it is a stunner.

Nope.

I understood you the first time. Not entirely sure why you are wanting to get personal about this.

I just don't want to offend anyone . . . to have a dig means what?
