Noble sales numbers?

[993turbo]

I've researched the history of Noble and his success but never really have seen or heard how many M models have been sold since it's inception. Everybody raves over the car so I would imagine that there are quite a few on the roads. It's just a curiosity.....does anybody know?

Not sure about the rest of the world, but the official number sold in the U.S. is 222.

I think it was mentioned before that there has been 900 sold in the UK.

M400, 245.

PBSaxman got the last one, I am sure he will be along soon to confirm.

And Pete, you coming over sometime for the PH Yorkshire meet?

[V6GTO]

Doesn't that 245 include 3Rs as well?

Hi Ash, mine was actually number 240, but was unless the factory know better the last UK M400. There was a big discussion on this before and I seem to remember that the 240 included only the 3R and M400's the others being numbered separately. J will know

As to the Yorks PH meet, I've missed the last couple cos been away Will also miss the next one as on a cruise (water borne not in the car ) Hope to make the one in September though as it's great to meet up with all those car junkies!!!!

We've been told in the US that the total here is 220, which includes 3R's and M400's. There were very few GTO 3's sold early on in the US and I am uncertain if those are included in the 220.

Hi - do these numbers include 2.5's as well? would be interested to know the total number of 2.5 + 3 + 3r + 400!

993turbo, I tried to define this via the following thread - it is challenging to determine accurate numbers...

In EVO Magazine / May 2007 Issue / British Sports Car Special Article / Page 113.

Lee Noble was quoted as saying:

‘We sold around a thousand M12’s in the UK over seven years and in that time the car had gone through four generations'

That would make it approx 1,200 with the US cars.

Perhaps Lee was rounding down..?

[D_G]

Just as long as I own one of them

[joust]

Around 1000 ish is the best I know, Stuart Jones told me it was about 1200 but I'm not sure anyone really knows apart from a few in the factory.

I think it'd be closer to 1000 including the LHD ones.
