Another "anyone know this car" thread

Seems like a total bargain...
What does worry me though, is the statement "Never been tracked" yet all the pictures are from a photoshoot on a track....
Anyone know the dude selling it and why it appears so cheap!?

You didn't look at the reg and this thread then http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
Well I'm thinking TVR/Noble....
I know the Noble has more favourable running costs with the reliability and engine of the speed-6 requiring 6-8k rebuild on a unknown periodical basis...
It would be used for long journeys though, I live north and generally work across the country (and europe, but car not needed there), so it would be a case of driving for up to 150miles....is the car comfortable enough for this length of journey?
I haven't a set amount for what I'd spend...as little as possible for as good a car as possible I think's the right answer
....anything in the region of 22-23k.

....anything in the region of 22-23k.Just have to pick on on that a full new 6 speed transmission including upgrades will only cost you £3500+vat Ford/Getrag MMT6.
I just had new racing clutch fitted direct from Noble £505+vat
You can get a full engine rebuild at around 35,000 miles from Noble Motorsport from around £3500 +vat and it will run a lot better than it did from new, but an engine rebuild at this milage is not required all the car will do is start to lose a little power, i know one guy with 100,000 miles on his Noble.
I use mine as a daily driver, full reliability, never had a single problem, it once had a hiccup on some bad fuel and spat flames out of the exhaust, never happened again.
I only reconditioned my gearbox at 17000 miles because i had done too many 0-70mph starts from traffic lights in 2nd gear, the clutch still had good wear on it but what the hell might as well change it while the gearbox it out, i have also installed the removable side strut at the same time to get the gearbox in and out easier.
