There will be official news about the M14 later this month.

Before Noble is completely lambasted for the car being 'late', please bear in mind that little more than two years ago it did not exist at all. When you consider that this car has almost no commonality with the existing M12/400 series and is also a good deal more sophisticated in general, its imminent launch date is no mean feat.

Ask yourself how long it normally takes a car manufacturer to bring an all-new product to market and it kinda puts it in perspective.

Dear All,
"Official news" could be many things, project cancelled?

We know they've just got a new source of money and I'm interpreting Simon's mail to men good news. The M14 has been "pre-launched" on the basis that it is going to take on Porsche, Astom and Ferrari. If you are going to take on these boys you are in a very different market to the M12.
No one enters such a market or makes a market leap of that nature without knowing that everything is in place and that takes time.
As Simon says to go from a blank sheet of paper to where the M14 is in 2 years is pretty good going. But its only 2 weeks away so eke that patience out just a little longer.

Regards
Paul C

I saw that car, or something very very similar, being driven by Lee Noble and a colleague at Bruntingthorpe just before Christmas. I got a passenger ride in it too. It was obviously a development mule but the engine was longitudinal...

It's Lee's personal development mule for the M14, and gives some clues to the M14 layout.

It's no secret, and has been around for quite some time - here it is at Britcar in June last year.

Lee didn't give much away but he implied was testing for the model after the M14. We'll see, hopefully before too long.
