Sorry, off topic but tried to reply to your e mail on insurance quotes but message delivery failed. Anyhow, the three best quotes are identified in your thread - www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=6875&f=26&h=0 - although you may have to read all of it to pick up the detail. Suggest that if you want more such as contact numbers etc then drop me another e mail with your phone number and I'll talk you through it.

Cheers, Martin.

From the standard colours, silver(ish) or dark colours apppear to look good. Saw a picture of indigo blue(metallic) which looks quite good. Was originally thinking of Ecosse blue which is very dark almost black.

Depends on how light! TVR have a very light blue(crystal topaz)which might look good.

Buy a playstation2 and a copy of Granturismo 3, then look under vehicles for TVR! Alternatively try asking a TVR dealer to have a look at their colour charts. Crystal topaz looks similar to the portofino blue on the Noble website, but a bit lighter. Hope that helps.

Although it now looks like i will have my car first week or two in May, I decided to to pop down to HR Owen again on Saturday to take a look at their demonstrator and get a few pic's (i'll post these on the yahoo group page later).

They kindly let me take it for a spin again. I'd forgotten how fantastic those wastegates sounded Although i was driving carefully as it's not my car YET ! So didn't really gun it like i did on my initial test drive last June, but it did make me realise just how easy it is to drive slowly in traffic.

Mine is in Azure blue as per their demo car, but they also had a purple\black car which looked realy nice. I also spotted 2 Nobles for sale from HR Owen in yesterdays Sunday Times at £52k. Not sure if these are genuine S\H or just pre-specced cars from the factory, but either way could be a good solution for anyone at the bottom of the waiting list ?

Colours - I used a Jaguar mid-dark Blue on the first production M10 - still looks brilliant nearly 3 years later

TJMAC, If you want to see a limited selection of colours have a look in the photo album on the Yahoo groups.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/noble-m12/

If anybody has any other colours that they could post then please do.

I test drove a burgundy one on Satuday. I'm not a big fan of red coloured cars but this did look very nice.

And it's a very well put together car.

I've posted a picture of it on the Yahoo groups photo gallery.

To see the Yahoo groups just subscribe to the group. It's free and easy. As well as photos, there are quite a few Noble owners on this discussion list.

And the dealer with the Burgundy M12 is Sturgess of Leicester (0116 2470074) ask for Chris Ward. They are very helpful.
