M400

[sjc]

I hope I'm not breaking any rules here,if there's anyone who would like first refusal on a FSH ( with same dealer) M400 before it goes in the PH classifieds,perhaps they'd like to PM me and I've give them the details.

[Juno]

I'm sure it's OK leave all he rule breaking to me

The amount of love and attention mine has had this year, I could not bring myself to sell it....but can't afford yours as well!

Tricky as the only thing i'd sell mine for is an M400 in the same colour. Yours is the closest colour i've seen.

Is it the Viper blue?
Would you share mileage on this thread?

[sjc]

Mileage is 34K,its Azure blue.2005/05 every service done on the button by Kerridges since new .They supplied it new to original owner, and to me in 2007 (2nd owner at 8,000 miles), so they've known the car since day one.Manifolds both renewed,floor resealed,fuel pump wiring, tunnel mod, high pressure fuel hose etc etc all done in last couple of years, front clam resprayed earlier this year( for stone chips only,no damage).Loads of other nice bits done,I've not tracked it,and it's always run standard power.It looks and drives like a car with 10K miles. Just maybe getting itchy feet for a change of car/type of car,as I've now done 7 years of Noble ownership, as I had a 3R previously.

Drove a Granturismo S and really liked it,( but will need to add money which I'm loathe to do, or might go down the Caterham/XJ 2.7TDVI route without adding any money.

No I had the Faulks FP one put in with fan. Fine for road use, in fact a good improvement,but if you were intending to track it you might want to upgrade further to the Pro -Alloy one possibly.
In all seriousness, whoever buys it I'd want first refusal from them to buy it back when available, in case I've made the wrong decision in my car route! I spent 9 months finding it after selling the 3R,turned down 3 other M400's over that time and have never regretted it one bit.I've a file of paperwork nigh on an inch thick over my 5.5 years,Jamie at Kerridges has stated each time he test drives after service, it's simply the best one they see.

How much are you looking for it?
I remember seeing yours at kerridges being serviced before I got mine, it convinced me I wanted a noble, it did look immaculate.

[Scooby P1]

I want it but want to keep mine too.

Tricky....

Best P.M me, as then it will really look like an advert!
Ta for the nice comment about the car.

[sjc]

Just going through paperwork to do a spec sheet for some people who have mailed me,and the current set of tyres have lasted.....19,000miles!!! Is that a record?

[Rob_W]

Well at least you can honestly add "never thrashed" to the sheet!

[jamie g]

I'm very interested to see what it sells for. There is one on ph now at a very cheap price, tatty but low mileage going by the description. Probably a bit of a track slag!

[sjc]

Just added up servicing,cosmetic bits and precautionary maintenance of over £9600 since I acquired it at 8000 miles in 2007.And every penny has been worth it.
Getting second thoughts already now I've realised that!

Less than £2k a year, over 26k miles is very good going!

Oh yes, not complaining,especially for it's performance. It's been a wonderful car.

If the car is in the condition you say its in-and i certainly believe you and if you're not in a rush to sell it,I wouldn't sell your car for under 45K.Put an advert up and leave it there. There are people out there who are after these models.
