They look better now they've not got the Focus ST/first gen X5 wheels but they're still naff looking.
Would rather any Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche, McLaren, etc over it.
Can't see anything naff looking about it myself. Understated, purposeful and classy in my eyes.Would rather any Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche, McLaren, etc over it.
Sure it's not super modern and wild like some lamborghinis or even McLarens but I'd have it over almost anything from any of the 'top' marques (bar possibly a 675LT)
Fair play to the guy who has bought the blue one, I don't think I've made any secret that they are far from my cup of tea, but I hope it treats you well and you enjoy it.
I'd actually be interested in seeing some more pics, especially of the interior and some of the more out of the way deatilas that you would never get to see unless you've owned one.
Actually, does anyone ever watch Doug Demuro on YouTube? I'd like to see him "review" one.

He's not only bought the blue one, he's re-bought it because he missed it so much.I'd actually be interested in seeing some more pics, especially of the interior and some of the more out of the way deatilas that you would never get to see unless you've owned one.
As for more "pics of the out of the way" details,( no doubt to try and back up the complete I'll informed nonsense you've posted previously) be prepared to eat a lot of humble pie.

I would love to know how many are actually built and sold. I don't recognise the blue one, but i do the numberplate.
Google Images shows a blue one, a light blue, and a dark blue one. There also seems to be a nice maroon one, a bright orange one, a greeny-bronze one and a black one. So that's 7. Any more out there?

Ah yes, just seen: 25. Was going to say i've now seen three other M600s (red, green and a black/yellow one) and one white Speedster.
Just thought it was coincidental that the one for sale in the original post was one of the 10 or so that are proven to exist, as is the black one. As a result, I reckon 25 is optimistic. And even so, that's what, £5m of sales assuming they were fully priced? Given about half the cars appear to have been 'press' or factory cars, I imagine they were all sold at a discount.
You'd have to be real, real brave to buy one IMO.

So you've just asked how many, seen how many, and now don't believe it because you personally only know of four....you really couldn't make this thread up.Just thought it was coincidental that the one for sale in the original post was one of the 10 or so that are proven to exist, as is the black one.

The reason why I think you'd have to brave to buy one is that I am questioning Noble's success, financial situation and ability to provide after support into the long term. Fair enough for a DIY kit car, not so much for a £200k supercar.
Because of this, I think you'd also have to brave because you'd have difficulty selling one, and you'd lose a shed load doing so.

After support? Again read the owners experience, better than you'll find with pretty much any mainstream supercar brand. Long term? Despite the constant doom mongering the model has been for years now.
You'll have difficulty buying one if not looking for new... the only second-hand one available was bought back but the original owner.. who is on this thread!
Massive depreciation on the 650S originally, great car.
Try getting a bid on an FF after a year, great car.
Quite why we can't just rejoice it's built is beyond me.

Regardless of mine or anyone else's opinion, the guy has bought one, which I congratulate him on, and as a result there is a possibly an opportunity to get to see some of the details that you wouldn't get to see, I'm not sure why that is so unbelievable?
I don't think there is any benefit to the topic to reiterate my opinions, and they are my opinions in the same ways as yours are well, yours.
When I saw the pictures I did think the car looked striking actually, not what I would choose if I was in the market for a car like this, but hey we've been through that.
I think the owner of the car would read my post asking for further pictures and I realise I was being genuine.

Why?
Because apparently only expensive cars called "Ferrari" sell. The Noble is an awesome piece of machinery and were I in a position to, I would buy one in a heartbeat. I like the simplicity of the design and its purity of design. I also like that there is little, if any pandering to the nanny state that dilutes what this car is about.

I'm pissing myself laughing at some of the comments 
some folk clearly need educating.
I've had the car back for 2 weeks now and I'm smitten. Again.
For those who don't understand and see the M600 as a kit car, take a look at my profile and consider some of the other toys I've had recently - the M600 is a monumental step forward from anything else I've ever owned. The M600 gives an undiluted anologue driving experience that's hard to beat. Sure - I'd rather have a Mclaren F1, Ferrari F40, F50, or a Porsche Carrera GT, but realistically I doubt I'll ever be in a position to
If you are joining this thread late, I previously took the time to write an in depth post on why I love the car so much - You'll find it on page 6 of this thread.
The only negative i currently have about the car is that the interior currently hurts my eyes. It looks as if every inch available has been trimmed in smurf skin. A full interior retrim in something much more tasteful is booked in for next month to put that right - photos to follow end of July.
When I've gotten to know the car better, I'll write a full review - warts 'n all with some detailed pictures.
