M10

That got you interested!

Anyone else got 1

I think they are probably pretty rare.
What are they like to drive?

I know the looks got a bit slated originally but I don't think it's THAT bad.
Top Gear included it in the M15 review recently with the M12 and they seemed to reckon it was a top car.

As Hammond put it "their first two cars were absolutely superb".

Clearly he was referring to the first two M10s.

Comparable to the Elise in many respects. However a major difference, is that you get the roof down in about 10 seconds (fixings are like an MX5) whilst remaining in the drivers seat. With the Elise (MkII) it took me about a minute and you had to get out of the car. Given that the car is over 7 years old I don't push it like I used to in the Elise, but performance would be similar. Cornering, as we all expect in a Noble, is better than an M3 and as good as the Elise.

Starts first time. Sounds great and I get the greatest of pleasure whilst following it in the M12 (obviously I can't hear it then). It looks superb from low down behind and watching the look on faces as if " that looks good, what the hell is it?

I genuinely believe Noble cracked it first time with the M10.

Why they sold in such small numbers baffles me.

Personally I believe it was because
a) it wasn't a looker - especially the headlights and
b) it was roughly the same price as an Elise, and Noble were unknown at that stage. So punters generally went for the Lotus as a safer option.
