That looks like mine.....
I crashed it in March - only about 35 mph!
In the very wet - this car for some reason was much wilder than the one I got to replace it. When I spoke to Noble London I mentioned the crash and they seemed to think there may have been something awry with it (they probably meant the occupant in the drivers seat!). I've never had the same issue with the new one, but this may be due to the fact that I'm more careful now perhaps, or the weather just hasn't been bad enough yet.
It also had a very bad cold startup problem where it would jitter and hesitate until it got to temperature. The rear end of the car for parts should be absolutely fine as I smashed it on the drivers front corner. The chassis is slightly bent I think around the impact point (hence the total loss), but from there backwards it was completely undamaged.
I was thinking though. Surely the engine itself is worth much more than the bid....?

What 'box did it have in it?
I might take the seats -
Gadge you buy the wreck I'll pick over the bits.

They wont sell the wreck, apparently they hav to break it and scrap the chassis and body???
Clam, doors, ect can be removed, just not the centre section.
Would be a good buy depending on the reserve for someone who is going racing a 2.5.
Not worth it, they probably paid £1k for it, nice £5k markup doing jackall. You'd have to strip the car yourself at their place and take only the stuff which bolts off and does not have car's ID on it. BUT as far as I know all noble's have build numbers on a metal coin on pretty much every fibre glass panel. All the fibre glass panels on this are likely to have stress fractures in them or cracks anyway as they thrash the car about the yard using a forklift.
