Hi, i'm Babs from Essex, my hubby Gary has just ordered a Noble M12 (3 litre) version which won't be ready till July next year, we are still pondering which colour to have out of the lighter silver or the darker metalic blue! any suggestions?

I was just wondering if anyone knows of anywhere you can buy replica model cars of a Noble or any other bits and bobs relating to this fantastic car.

I look forward to many years of chatting with you guys and hope someone out there can help me.

Cheers, Babs

Looks better in the darker colours in my opinion, but then i'm biased !

Portifino Blue would have been my choice had I actually had one :-)

Thanks everyone, Joust your car looks fantastic, can't wait to get ours, I really like that colour, we thought about the porto blue but thought it looked a bit lilacie, does anyone have one in this colour? could you post pics?

Back to my previous post, does anywhere know where I can get any little pressies on the Noble such as a miniture version that hubby can have on his office desk?

Look forward to hearing from you,

Babs

Alan Wallace at the factory mentioned that they were getting some replica noble models made but that they would be quite expensive. Might be worth giving Alan a call at the factory ?

Anyone else thinking of chopping in their GTO for the new GTC convertible ?

The little models that you can get from Noble were about £300 I think. They had one in the board room at the factory and although it looked nice wouldn't say it was worth £300.

Another gift is one of though Fat-boy cartoon type things. Someone had a Noble done in one looked quite good. Can't remember the URL or the company for it now. Perhaps someone else on here knows.

Depends what it looks like - but if the other half likes it - almost certainly.

I think with teh new lights (the biggest let down on teh current car), the bigger engine, twin exhausts AND targa roof - it has to be a winner

I'm going to speak to Noble about whether they will allow existing owners to trade-up directly with the old car going back for sale through the franchises.

Stuh - can you let me know what they say. Not that I'm that fussed as I am sure I can do a deal with Mole Valley - but it would be good to have the option.
