Thanks, Steve

Think the owner ( and one of the previous owners) is on here, have a look back through a few pages I'm sure there was a few posts regarding it.Looking at the new price ( it was £39995 a few weeks ago, the £35995) I'd pull their bloody arm off !

That was the first private sale M400 I looked at before buying mine.
At the time it had some damage to the nearside front wheel arch (Clam and quarter panel)from memory.
I thought it was Portofino blue though.

Me too - I had a look when it first arrived at Redline but bought another one in the classified.

Well guys you will be please to know that the slight
wheel damage has been repaired & looks like new.

The slight misfire has had new cats installed
and all other slight problems have been fixed
by Dave (Noble) @ Jetstream Motor Sport.

He has done the full service & MOT.
So with 12 months road tax on it, and running
as sweet as a nut, it's the bargin of the century.

And by the way F.C. it never had any other damage
than the nearside wheel so I would appreciate it
if you got your facts right, before slagging off
my car on this forum.

Thank you

THE OWNER

I had a look at this car a few weeks back and it's very good indeed.

Would have bought it but a few grand over my budget for a track day car but well worth a look.

I have seen this car. Its a great example and the owner was a real gem, i'd feel more than safe buying acar from him. Just wasn't for me and I ended up buying something completely different.

No slagging intended.
I drove an M400 with the number plate M400BYE in west london November 2006.
At the time the second owner (record label owner or similar) had about 3500 miles on the clock and the nearside front clam had damage around the wheel arch, the car was subsequently bought back by the original 1st registered owner of the car.
IIRC the nearside sill had a scratch along it aswell.
So unless the number plate for the car has been changed in the last 2 years from another Noble, you may need to get your facts right, my guess is you are the 4th registered owner and never knew about the damage anyway.
when I last saw it, it was back with the 1st original owner who had it at CHR for a dyno day, He didn't know about the damage either.

Don't know about the damage,but that's deffo the car, as I also looked into it in early 2007, just before the original owner bought it back again,so from that you could deduce that all was ok.For the benefit of the owner, it would be very fair to say it has never been Portofino blue!For me,it seems like a cracking buy for someone at that money. If I sell mine(with double the mileage)it'll be going up for more than that!

Reading my earlier post I realise it could have been misconstrued that I was suggesting the car had been re-sprayed to another colour, that is definitely NOT what I meant, rather that I had driven a few Nobles around at that time,
Most were silver or portofino.
It was the number plate I remember clearly and that the owner at the time couldn't live with the car, IIRC it had some mods done, larger intercooler with fan etc.
