Yup, well M14 / M15. Basically all the running gear for the new Nobles (longitudinal engine layout, bigger chassis). Wasn't this the car that one of the mags tested?

It sounds good in real life, if a liitle rough around the edges, as you'd expect.

Looks very much like the one I saw on the M1 around Junction 27, southbound.

I wonder if its not the mule for the "now shown" M15, but the mule for a replacement M12 that might be unveiled at the British Motor show in a few weeks?

Please, please, please Lee, make an M12 replacement that looks as beautiful as it goes! My cash is waiting!

looks like the M15 mule but some differences in the rear bodywork - you may be right or it may be jet lag! none in N Jersey anyway -

C'mon guys...we all know this was the M14/M15 test mule...the one that was at Silverstone for our big get together last year...it is not an M12 update (though doubtless there is nothing stopping Lee from subtly updating the M12 body shell IMHO...and why not?)

Interesting shot.

The rear intakes are much bigger now, and the rear track seems to be wider too.

Perhap they are working out some cooling issues with the m15.....

It's just this



with the air intakes done to mimic the M15



No point having a mule if it doesn't mimic the finished car....
