Noble dealers host new model in next 10 days
Noble London, based in Barnet, North London will host the new M15 model over the Easter weekend and is keen for everyone to visit and see the car in the flesh.
Noble London's owner Giles Cooper is raving about the car and urges everyone to see it in the flesh - "It's awesome, it's got such presence" he told us today.
See it in the Flesh
The car can be viewed from 10am-5pm on Saturday 15th and 11am-4pm on Sunday 16th.
Refreshments will be provided and if it's a nice day, the car will be located outside for all to see.
Enquiries to info@noblelondon.com or visit www.noblelondon.com
The car will also be on show at the following times/venues:
- Sat 8th April: Peter Smith Sports Cars, Hatton, now Sunday too
- Tuesday 11th April: Mole Valley, Chessington
- Wed 12th: Kerridges, Ipswich
- Thursday 13th April: n/a
- Friday 14th: Christopher Neil, Northwich
Discussion
I'm not sure about it either, but then I wasn't sure about the car when I saw the earlier version at the motorshow a couple of years back. If they've improved on that bluff front end then I'd be happier - not convinced from the pictures I've seen of it that they've moved it on though.

My apologies that we can't get the car to all the dealers next week. The car is due back to Lee on the Monday after Easter where it will go back into development for the next 6 weeks.

And this is where Noble have trounced everyone. Well done Lee and all at Barwell; read above "it will go back into development for the next 6 weeks".
For this I read - we'll listen and learn and see what the punters think and make changes (probably to the back end). "Launching" the car before the final product is finalised is a brainwave. Hats of to Noble again.

IMHO this car is STILL a BD (big Disaster) and should have been styled by a stylist not an engineer. It's all well and goog saying "the more I look at it the more I like it" It could, should have been great and it's far from that. Subjective or not, that GRP lump aint woth more than the sum of it's parts and certainly aint worth 75k. I hope I'm wrong but Noble on present form is a bit of a one hit wonder, not something to make Britain proud. A bit of a Right Said Fred or Milli Vanilli or whatever their called. No doubt some people, probably those with deposits and the infirm will say:
"What do you know, Lee Noble is a God"
But I can't help thinking that despite my 'subjective' views on this, I'll be proved to be correct when this poor effort flops.

That must be me then! I like it!
Noble from memory have had at least four hits, M12 2.5, GTO3, 3R and M400. I'm no expert on Right Said Fred, but I think they had two hit's actually. Milli Vanilli had about four off of one album and were either Dutch or German or something like that. Still 'Never let the facts get in the way of a good story'!!!
As to the "making Britain proud" and the "GRP lump" comments, I would re-read some of the artciles already published on the M12, M400 and the M15, you might find them useful.

Nope. One hit. The M12.
Is that not stretching it a bit, like saying 'The 911' or 'A Maranello'??
Not really. In the scheme of things the changes between the M12 variants are relatively minor. Yes things have been improved or just changed between the various models, but park them next to each other it's obvious they're all the same car.

Changing the engine between the 2.5-3, then the massive dynamic changes between the 3 and 400 are all rather major changes I would have thought.
Personally I think all this fuss is great. It's generating huge interest (good and bad) in the car. The test will be will people that actually can afford a £75k car buy it?
Given the number of additional deposits Mole Valley took on-top of all the people that put money down on the M14 I have a feeling this might just be the most successful car Lee's ever built....

Err, but justin don't the Cayman, Boxter, Boxter 2 and 996 all share the same front end? I thought that was part of the Stuttgart master plan?
