Looking at getting noble 3r. Just a few questions as i havnt seen one in the flesh.

whats the body work like? ie quality, finish

can they be lived with everyday?

how pracital are they?

Where can i find performance figures and specs?

from what i understand they are epic on the track but most of the roads in N.Ireland are bumpy b roads so how do they cope on this type of surface?

thanks for your time

I use mine every day and live semi rural so drive on bumpy roads without pain or injuries.....as for it being practical...well with the luggage set there enough space for 2 people for a long weekend.....not a car for the mrs to get out of in a skirt though!

Excellent. It's GRP and so you will find the odd blemish, but they were exceptionally well put together.

Quite a few people do, but this is a £60k hand built car, so expect things to go wrong occasionally. To that end I wouldn't rely on it if you don't have another way of, say, getting to work without it.

As pratical as a car with no boot can be. You can get a weeks worth of clothes in it in the luggage set, and Tesco's is no problem with no passenger, but go and have a look.

If you mean how practical are they to drive, well I drove mine in central London for 4 years without any gripes.

Mine lives in Dorset. We think a bumpy B road is a luxury!
