Delivery times for 3-Rs?
Discussion
goodlife said: What number are you?
I'm R27 and have been quoted August, but looking at previous threads in this forum I'm thinking it might be July.
Also I've gone for Titanium, so the colour should not delay things.
What delivery have you been quoted by your dealer/factory?
OK, I've been quoted July (already specced/cancelled order - titanium), 3 Septembers (one is #50), one October (#58) and a Nov-Dec (#78)! Remember though that the build numbers are out of sequence so don't assume that one number follows the next consecutively.
BTW - I also heard of a demonstrator coming in 2-3 weeks -must be the first or damn nearly!).
3rtt said: Colour and spec for my 3R (R35 build) is Crystal Topaz pearl colour including painting rear wing, with Black Leather (GP01) interior and perforation Blue Violet (GP40) seat inserts and highlights (hand brake cover, gear lever cover etc). Would quite like oil pressure and oil temperature information, either dial or readout. I will discuss this when the car arrives from SA.
Also speccing 6 speed box and modified sump.
I'm told the first 3R Dealer cars are due to factory anytime now, then to the Dealers sometime in June.
Just spoken with Robbie Head (Ex rally car National Champion and C4 presenter) who tells me they have just done a feature with Auto Express magazine using the top 20 exotic sports cars driven around Anglesey. He drove a Noble for the first time and was blown away by the performance, handling and brakes. The feature is due for print in a couple of weeks.
Sounds v. nice - I bet you're getting somewhat fidgetty!
How do you propose to deal with the lack of an oil temp and/or pressure guauge/warning - via the factory or elsewhere?
Did they ask any more £ for painting the wing?
BTW - have seen an M12 WITHOUT the rear wing (green one - (is/was?) in Mole Valley recently) - made the lines look nice and clean - although I do realise the necessity of the rear wing!

actech said: The air pressure going over the wing needs to generate enough force to compress the suspension and tyres and consequently increase the grip. Therefore the wing will only really come in to play at high speed when the wind speed increases. In theory anyway!
Can anyone get us a photo of this green wingless M12 at MV for me?

It also needs to have a decent 'angle of attack' to be effective, which the Noble doesn't look like it has. It may reduce lift rather than provide downforce??
I might be down at Mole Valley again this weekend, if so I will take my digi cam along and take a picture of the green car.
Am going tomorrow so will try to take a shot but how do I post it here?
