Hello everyone. I bought my M12 GTO in May 2007 having been a classic car owner for the last 15 years. I'd converted my 57'Porsche 356 Speedster replica to Hayabusa power, which put me in intensive care at LeMans in 2006 for 63 days. The wife and family then wrapped me up in cotton wool and classic and replicas were banned. I convinced them that the Nob was safe as it has a cage! Anyway, Im loving it, but I'm concerned about getting nicked for speeding. Its just too addictive!
It's at Plans Motorsport at the moment having a few things sorted and they tell me I need a replacement front nearside wheel.Has anyone out there got one knocking about or know where I might find one please?
By the way, mines a black 2.5, number plate N88LED (looks like NOBLED)

Cheers.

I'd say Joust is your man.

He'll be along soon, and lives down Croydon way, so not too far from plans.

He has a strange Noble wheel collecting fetish.............smile

Welcome to the Nobility! Glad you made a full recovery -can you say what was wrong with the front wheel?
Oh..and it's not only speeding you may be done for, but also your number plate! BiBs are very hot on this at the moment because all their v expensive NP recognition equipment won't recognise anything that isn't absolutely standard. I have been warned and my plates were barely different to normal.

When I crashed, admittedly it was only about 30-40mph, but the fire brigade took pictures of the interior because it was an unknown car for them. They mentioned that the interior was perfect and there had been no bending/spearing of parts into the cabin space at all. Were very impressed with it.

Hi Stephen, welcome.
I have been involved with Noble for many years and as my workshop is next door have had the opportunity to see many of the crashed cars that came back to the factory,some with minor damage and others that were written off as unrepairable,but none of the occupants were seriously hurt.Enjoy
