Wow what a car, absolutely fantastic, and very sad that I dreamt about it all last night as well. I have owned and own some lovely cars including F360, F430, 500bhp skyline, 911s etc, but the noble has to be one of the very best cars out there. Absolutely awesome, grin inducing work of genius. I want one!!!

On the more serious side, what are the main faults to look for and what are the running costs like.

Thanks

Welcome to the Nobility. Buy one soon and the main fault you will develop is a tendency to drive from A to A.
(For the sheer helluvit)!

Another main fault is listed under 'driving licence protection'

there are only really 2 main things to look for

the diff in the original 5 speed box is not the strongest

you need a track day sump if you are going to drive it hard to stop it from loosing the oil on the bends


go and get a test drive and you will be smitten

Thanks guys, I am already smitten and dying to get back home to it tonight. One thing I did notice was a feeling that the boost is restricted in first and second gear? Really opens up in third?

Also, any comments on running costs?

Steve you really must be bored. Could I ask that you leave at least a few threads for people who want to appreciate and comment on the cars with at least some degree of maturity? You've got your play thread under "Burned a 360..." so please don't stray onto other ones unless you've got something helpfull to contribute.
