Comparison - 2.5l & 3l models?
Discussion
Nobleheads,
I'm considering the purchase of an M12 for track-play (what else) and have some questions for you experts!:
- What's the difference between the 2.5l and 3l engined models (IE: which one should I fo for)?
- How helpful is the factory (I have had a couple of TVRs so have some experience of British Sports car manufacturers!
- Does the noise from the B-post located waste-gate ports on the early models drive you mad after a while (so should I consider a newer, rear-located, model to reduce this)?
- Is the M12 comfortable in everyday use?
Thanks,
Rob.

Appreciate your speedy reply Anthony.
I must say though that, I'm now seriously concerned, having read -Nildram's- report (gearbox problems, oil not in the right places, etc. and another about leaking pipes etc. - and all this from a fifty-odd grand motor!!!). I know there can be one-off lemons but I don't like the sound of all those problems in one package. The only time I expect to have (my) Noble towed home if if I, or an (ex!) friend, bends it
- should I be concerned?!

Thanks for the comments guys.
Clearly I need to drive an M12 sometime soon so am intending to visit Mole Valley, Chessingtom this week -they only have a 3l demo model so will need to seek out a 2.5 demo elsewhere - that's unless I go and see the one up north (see my question on the ad in today's ST).
