After a long wait (and lots of reading here - big thanks to everyone who's contributed; very much appreciated - cheers!)... I'm hoping to join the ranks of "The Nobility" in the next month or so, and about to start viewing cars.

Pretty sure I'll go for a 3R (6-speed and LSD are attractive), if I can make the budget, but I've yet to see under the hood (er, clam) or actually sit in one yet.

So... there's a pub lunch/snack on offer for anyone happy to let me look at their car in the next week or so, somewhere around the Battle / Robertsbridge area (so E. Sussex, South Kent). I'll be heading over to Mole Valley, and probably Kerridges, at some point but would like to know more about what I'm looking at (and what to look for) before I do.

Lunch or early evening are fine - e-mail me if you can help (happy to provide id); many thanks.


On a related note... there look to be some nice examples in the classifieds at the moment so if anyone knows any of these cars well then a quick nod (by mail if you prefer) would be great (budgeting 25-28ish, like red but history and condition more important than color).

TIA, Dave

Dave, I've got a 2.5 in Sevenoaks if you wanted to take a look, but there are obvious differences between it and the 3R. Also, I'm not that clued up on the technical side unlike some of the boys on the forum.
If you want to take a look, email me. Steve

Hi Dave

whats your budget for your Noble M12

I have a Noble M400 currently up for sale

and about the same price as the

M12 GTO 3R's.that are currently on the market.

It's a June 2005 so much younger than the M12's

This is much much better machine than the M12.

It's currently with the guy's @ Jetstream Racing who

are doing all the little jobs on it so when its

sold it will be bang on the mark (no faults)

It has a personal (M400) reg plate, and is currently

in Auto Trader, but I would be willing to bring the price

down for a quick sale.

Hope to hear from you
