I'm buying her. Again.

Surely there can't be many of us who have loved a car so much, that we've owned it more than once? nuts

If you get time and can be arsed then post a thread in Reader's cars please. Would love to see more photos and a bit more info from an actual owner as there's so little about the M600 online in general even though they've been around for a few years.

And enjoy it.

I'm really pleased it's coming back home to you where it belongs.

Please either keep this thread updated or start another one about the whole saga.

Show the kit car tts the error of their ways.

Oh, dear, so PH really has defended from it's great heights into a load of keyboard warriors who have no idea what they are talking about.

I haven't read the whole thread as I got sick of seeing this stunning car referred to as a "Kit Car', "Unreliable Rattly Old Thing" and all the other nonsense that people who have no idea about the modern company that is Noble Automotive.

Before I write this, I have moved on and no longer work for Super Veloce Racing or have anything to do with Noble at all professionally, so I have no axe to grind.
Having driven anything and everything, hard, for the last 15 years, the M600 stands out as one of the most exceptional drivers cars of all time. Why does it not have electronic aids or clever traction control; because it doesn't need them.
It is extremely well engineered, beautifully built, if a bit long in the tooth design wise, although the Speedster addresses this in my opinion, and delivers it's stunning performance without trickery......the thing is MEGA to drive, and appears to use witch craft to do what it does.

Unreliable, well, I would whisper that after seeing how many Italian cars broke down on the European Tour I organised last year, where the M600 did the 2,500 hard miles faster than anything else on the rally.

And the production facility, on par with aerospace manufactures, clinical, inspired and staffed by real engineers that know what they are doing.
Unless you have driven it, you just can't understand it.

Yes, Noble needs to change and move forward, but this is an example of stunning British engineering that should be celebrated, and SVR are doing an amazing job of getting this car the recognition it so rightly deserves.

Rutttboy.

"Kit car" was said in jest, shirley. Very Clarkson-esque and not to be taken seriously.

No the poster who said it meant it and carried on saying it long after others had tried to show him the error of his ways.

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.

I don't think it's a car that you buy for its looks, although personally rather like it's relative simplicity of form.

A marque specific thread in General Gassing? Not great for searches but I see that PH/Haymarket posted it there so maybe they know better.

BTW, Noble, lives in the "Other Marques" section where it's no. 3 out of 27 with over 210,000 postings so a fairly high profile (for a "kit car"). wink
