Evening all,

Been a long time lurker but thought it's about time I posted. Was on the lookout for a replacement for my RX8 Prodrive and was quite taken with the Noble. This one came up local-ish so went along and ended up parting with the money for her - seller was a top bloke and no doubt is on here, so if so - thank you for an awesome car!

I've removed the carbon wing as I didn't want it getting damaged through the winter or some scumbag tearing an end-plate off her whilst out and about, but will probably put it back on for the summer. Anyways, hello to you all and a couple of quick phone pics to boot.

Bart

I was eyeing up this very same car in the classifieds not that long ago - prices haven't changed on these early M12s in the past few years. Depreciation free cars is where it's at smile

Lovely car, and all the better looking without the wing imo.

That is a fantastic car, congratulations on your purchase.

Much like Codswallop I was looking at this car in the classifieds and was sooooo tempted, I guess my biggest concern with these is that I am 'powerfully built' with size 12 web's I would struggle to live with it!!! I will have to drag my sorry arse to the Autosport show and harass the guys on the Noble stand smile

Great car. I've always loved these cars. Lightweight V6 twin turbo and a British designer. I bet it has books of receipts and mods.

You're not wrong!!! Like a back catalogue of receipts and history - love it. The sound and the turbo sound is a drug, driving through town and hearing the chatter from behind is awesome.

Love that op, great colour and nice offset on the rear wheels. Looks cool without the spoiler, really emphasises how low the car is

This was my friends car, I know he loved and cherished it as a complete petrol head.

I bought one of his other cars and was thoroughly pleased with it.

Enjoy smile

Are you local to me? I saw this car along Banks Road, Sandbanks yesterday. No rear spoiler, looks good!

Yep - that was me, I live in Throop and work in Westbourne, I took the GF to Sandbanks for a stroll and some lunch. I'll put the wing back on when I'm not concerned about it being torn off by local scum / strong winds / passing local scum getting blown along by the strong winds (delete as appropriate).

Ah nice, the parents live in Westbourne. Throop is lovely too. I noticed the car straight away, was out with my boss and we both saw it coming!
No wing in these winds is probably a good idea.
