Wow,the world's first "350bhp V6 TWIN TURBO DIESEL" Noble

Good on them for providing such detail but, having done so much prep, they could have fixed the headlamp bulb (MOT failure)!

"REVIEW REPORT

Things are going well for Noble. When I wander into its workshop in Barwell, Leicestershire, there's a snake of a dozen or so M12 GTOs lined up for completion, the last in line wearing a little strip of masking tape on its rear spoiler that reads '165'. It shows that from a standing start a couple of years ago, this small company is close to fulfilling order number 165. And it's a strong, steady demand now; when I drop in a couple of weeks later, the last car is numbered 170.


However, the model I've turned up to drive probably won't be made in such numbers. It's pretty much the original M12 GTO but instead of the 2.5-litre twin-turbo Ford V6, it's a 3-litre. Called the M12 GTO 3 and with power up from 310 to 344bhp and torque rising from 320 to 340lb ft, it should be even more rapid.

The GTO 3 has a quick shift five-speed 'box and the GTO 3 feels fantastically muscular with a whopping 344bhp" - unquote.

Blimey a full re-build from their local Lamborghini specialist costing 6K alone!
Perhaps someone should have told him it's a Ford.

"– you really couldn’t ask for more of a second hand car."

Hmm. Have I misinterpreted that?

[heebeegeetee]

It's done 22,000 motorway miles, yet has needed £9,000 spent on rebuilding it and still all the lights don't work. Hmm.

[andygtt]

well it must be the diesel conversion that cost the 9k lol
