I paid that money for an 04 plate with 27k on the clock from a dealer a year ago. Car looks good although wheels and rear lights are not standard items.

If you can, get it on a ramp and make sure the floor is ok. Most 3Rs will need the floor doing by now. I also had to change my brakes soon after purchase so check they are good condition.

I am guessing from the front splitters that Mike Gurney must know the owner of this car, i'm sure he will be along shortly.

That car has had some upgrades. Looks like the exhaust has been upgraded (no bad thing at all £1300 plus to do this) Wheels look expensive,(poss compomotive?) but check all these things first. If you take some photos of the car's engine we will be able to give you more of an idea as to what has/hasn't been done. Car looks very nice.

Not my design of front splitter on that car, looks nice enough

make sure it has a 6 speed box, Track day sump and fuel pump upgrade

if it has been remapped try to make sure it has an upgraded intercooler

Don't know teh car but do know the guys at Bespoke, and it's highly unlikely that they will sell you any rubbish.Might be on sale or return?
Kerridges also have a very late 3R up there, bit more money but might take an offer.I'd have few worries about purchasing from either place.

I had a quick look in the showroom when I was at Bespoke earlier today. Some really lovely hardware in there, including the one you've got your eye on. Very nice, looks clean, great colour and those Compomotive wheels go well with it. Good to see several Nobles in there for servicing etc.

I think the splitters are genuine noble. My car was the mole valley M400 demo car and noble fitted the same splitters to mine. They're in the attic now.

A friend of mine has a VERY clean 3R for sale. Cheaper than this one and lower miles. Drop me a pm if interested.

Thats right - thats where i got mine from.

Does anyone know where Graham managed to get these splitters made up as i think they are made very well. Would be nice to still be able to source them.
