Anyone on here gone from a Cerb to a Noble?

What are your thoughts?

Am thinking about making the jump, would love to get some advice from those that have gone before me.

Not a cerb but I've just come from a T350 to a Nob, the T350 was meant to handle better than the cerb and i can say after two months of ownership, certainly in build quality and handling wise the Nob is far better, wish i'd done it sooner! Only downside is the lack of a rumbley loud engine/exhaust note but it can be forgiven for the upsides with everything else

I had 4.2 Cerb and a 4.5 both good cars but couldn't live with the paranoia of TVR ownership, I was constantly waiting for the engine to go bang.
In summary I would say the Nob is quicker without doubt, handles better, and is better built. Downside is I don't think anything sounds as good as TVR, I do like the interior of the Cerb and the two extra seats in the back are useful.
would I have another TVR, I doubt it now but the Sagaris is a stunner.

I had 4 tvrs ( inc 4.2 Cerb) and now on my 2nd Nob. theabove pretty much sums it up, other than I don't like the Sag!

Days as FrogGobbler done (for now)

Yup did the Cerb to Noble thing.

Cerb almost as quick in a straight line. Left for dead in the real world and on track.

Cerb better sense of occasion getting in and more "stylish" inside, more luggage space and has back seats, my kids fit in it until they were 5 or so....

Noble makes you love driving Cerb makes you glad you made it .... alive / without breaking down (delete as applicable)

Buy a Noble
Buy one now!

Hi Max, sorry to hear about your recent news. Give me a call or better still come along to the Xmas dinner on 10th Dec (look on C3C forum) and I can give you my take on the Noble.

Hi Martin,

Thanks, was a bit of a shock after spending so much cash out :O(

Still, can't be helped and that's what insurance is for.

The ride in yours is still fresh in my mind, Noble pretty much top of the list as a replacement for the Cerb.

Miss yours?

(Incidentally, is that your old one in the classifieds, not a common colour?)
