Noble GTC

[jerwatt]

Does anyone know around how many Noble M12 GTCs were made and if they're available second hand sporadically?

[Elliott_3R]

AFAIK they only made the one prototype...

[F.C.]

They never got the look right, apparently "they" couldn't get the roof line to look right, too smartcar sport!
So the project didn't get past the prototype.
Someone may be along to say different.
F.C.

Yup correct, and Lee cut that into pieces so none of it could ever be used.

thought there was a yellow one and a black one??

just read your website.....again, when is the car going to be available? and have you got any proof that your aero parts actually work?


Ill believe this when i see it, dodgy photoshoping and ive been to the first three races and that car hasn't been there, so how late in the season is the car going to run?

Photoshop? I was thinking along the lines of

[nigelw]

probably just "apeing " the look of a Noble whilst "monkeying around" with the aerodynamics ?

[snuffy]

Why would you not want one of these ?

They are following the marketing model that was used with the GTO-3T, GTC, M14 & M15

My thoughts exactly but thought I'd let someone else pipe up first.

[joust]

GTC was productised, and then killed after negative feedback.
M14 we know about
Who says the M15 is mythical? Didn't look very mythical the last time I saw it, nor when Evo was chasing it around Brunters before that.

Sure Justin but you'd have said that about the M14. I think "mythical" refers to the lack of final production and not the fact the a single unit exists/existed.

[joust]

The M15 isn't in production because it's being finalised. Quite a few people know the reasons for the "delay" on here.

Justin, what utter rubbish you write.

The GTC was very well received by the public and dealers. Noble took over 40 deposits and had considerable expressions of interest from around the world.

The only reason the convertible didn't get produced was due to resource constraints. Lee wanted to concentrate on the M14.

If my memory serves me correctly, you expressed a very strong interest in buying one for yourself.

[peterguk V6 KWK]

40 deposits is impressive by any standards.

Does anyone know how many deposits Salica have taken?

I'd imagine a very round number - the roundest ?
