I'm sure that when parts become difficult to obtain Nobleparts will source parts/resolve supply issues.

Does anybody know if a list exists that states exactly which bespoke parts noble had to manufacture for the car? if nobody knows of such a list then ill contact the factory and see what they say.

Now that you've ignored what i typed, why should they tell you? Noble are still a busines, I fail to understand why TVR outsorcing there supply chain and sop has anything to do with it.

There were a clear number of reasons to outsource the TVR parts supply

1) Big enough market
2) If TVR ever produce more cars they will need a route to market for parts
3) Why hold stock yourself, which ties up capital. (especially as TVR never paid suppliers and you could never get anything)
4) Cynically moving the parts supply for older models away from TVR divorces any warranty issues

Cant see Noble being/wanting to achieve this, but I would be more than happy if they did as lets face it they are not that far removed from TVR in terms of the issues they face.

Nobleparts are aftermarket not core.

Multipart will stock 'factory' approved parts only as I understand it.
