Noble production numbers - again!

[AMG Merc]

People, let's keep this scientific - only post if you have, or know, a car with a high build number. Quotes like "120 x 2.5's", ect. - whilst intersting, will only dilute accuracy

M12 2.5 (12 - Worty/60 - Humpy 60/67 - Lloyd)
M12 3.0 x (198-Snuffy/201-Acrowe)
M12 GTO-3R x (R198 - V6 GTO)
M400 (R236-Washy/240-pbplaxman/223-F.C. Tony Tyson/R204(36th)-Joust)

And, while we're at is where did they go (include number of cars here - not build numbers):

Shipment regions:

USA/Canada:
M12 GTO 3.0 x ??? (NUS63 onwards?)
M12 GTO-3R x ???
M400 x ???

Europe:
M12 GTO-3R (198)
M400 x ???

Australasia:
M12 GTO-3R x ???
M400 x ???

South Africa:
M12 2.5
M12 3.0
M12 GTO-3R
M400
(more early models likely in ZA)

Thoughts:
1 in Netherlands?
2 in Italy
2 in Russia
1 in Singapore
1 in Hong Kong

Are you sure about only 240 M400s?

Hi Ash, well, pbsaxman (Peter Banks) posted earlier, on the GT3 thread, that he thought he had the last M400 (240).

Wow, I expected it to be about 400 to 500.

I think its roughly

M12 2.5 x 120

I'm R198 so duly adjusted the figures

M12 2.5 x ???
M12 3.0 x ???
M12 GTO-3R x 198
M400 x 240

And, while we're at is where did they go (include number of cars here - not build numbers):

Shipment regions:

USA/Canada:
M12 GTO-3R x ???
M400 x ???

Europe:
M12 GTO-3R x 198

Australasia:
M12 GTO-3R x ???
M400 x ???

Hi Andy, are you saying you have a "3.0" numbered R201?

[m12_nathan]

I had GTO-3 number 192 but maybe the 3L cars had numbers that continued on from the 2.5 cars?

[V6GTO]

Rob...I don't think it's possible to do a total this way. I'm R198...if R197 and R196 went to the States then the running total for Europe would be 196, despite R198 being here. The only way to know the true figures is either ask the factory or look at the company accounts.

Yep my GTO-3 is number 201. I think it may be one of the last (if not the last) GTO-3's built.

I know Martin but let's see how it goes - if we get to combined total of 1000 or so we'll know we're close. Re: aking the factory

[AMG Merc]

People, I'm updating my fist posting here so as to keep the thread shorter.

[V6GTO]

Rob,
There's at least one GTO3 in the States...I've seen a photo.

Martin.

[m12_nathan]

I think 201 is the combined 2.5 and 3 number as they didn't start again IMO.

Good point.

My 2002 2.5 is #60

R4MON - what number is your 3R?
