I've just bought my first noble. An M12 GTO-3R in Indigo Blue. The reg number on the car at the moment is AY53 GHB. I'd be interested if anyone knows any history of the car.
I don't pick it up until the end of April and I can't wait.
Sold my 355 Spider last year and decided it was time for a new toy. after test drives of various possibles the M12 was just too much to resist. So much so that I've paid a deposit for a GTC and bought this car while I wait.

Welcome Andy,

Simply enjoy every moment...it is far and away the best automotive experience I have ever had.

By the way, did the dealer give you an updated expectation on when the GTC will finally arrive (and indeed in what form...if you search these forums there was much debate about last year's show car and the ways it could be improved)

If it transpires that it is less the single turbo version with a roof you can't stow anywhere - and more the twin turbo targa styled along the lines of the usual M12/M400 then I could well see myself rejoining that particular waiting list.

maybe micknall could give us an official (or hell, even an unofficial) update?

MV have told me that the current estimate is 2-3 years and that the hood is possibly going to be a folding mechanism in a 360 style!

If they stick with the removable but leave behind roof sections maybe i'll buy an M14 and swap it for a 430 spider.
