Hire a Noble !!!!

[steve111s]

Does any one out there know where you can hire a Noble for a day or weekend? Looking to buy one soon and would like to see how it handles and how practical it is for me. I currently have an S1 Elise 111s which I use on an every day basis. Thanks to all and every one that posts a reply.

No idea but just a thought. im sure the main dealers are not selling them by the dozen. im sure someone would loan you one for a weekend if you have a serious chat with them about purchasing one. you may have to leave a hefty deposit / car with them or something.

My dad borrowed a 911 turbo for a weekend from lancasters a few years ago before deciding to buy he was a regular customer thought so they knew him. Just a thought - you dont know if you dont ask.

I asked this a few months back, and turned up a couple of trackday companies that said they rented, but they didn't. My searches turned up blanks. I would love to hire a Noble.

I was going to suggest the same thing, except I need a new clutch

Before I bought mine I did a trackday in one

The company was xfactor , and they ran it through motorsport events www.motorsport-events.com.

I can't see it linked any more , but if you contact them they may still know if xfactor are renting theirs out. They had two at the time but this was approx 2 years ago now .

good luck

+1 I have been given a Maserati and a Jaguar XKR by different dealers to test out on roads that I am familiar with over a weekend. Just left my (at the time) porsche with them (which of course they were not entitled to drive). In both cases no money changed hands and they insured me. You might find a dealer willing to do the same for a Noble if you can persuade them that you are serious.

Thanks guys for the reply's you have sent back I can't believe that there is not one place or person out there willing to hire or loan a Noble. I think that, if someone was to do this they could make a packet. All my searches via the net have turned up with nothing. There must be something out there, its driving me nuts

Give P1 Supercar Hire a call as i'm sure Michael Breen said he had a Noble. He might hire you one for a day or so for the right price?

X Factor still have a Noble M12 GTO which you can hire on one of their trackday/airfield events.

We had a go before buying ours. Was a fun day out.

The thing is how many people would hire a Noble?

I could rent mine out, but everyone knows how people drive hire cars!

I would need a complete engine and gear box rebuild everytime someone hired it!

I'd rather not have the money and keep my PJ intact thanks.

In responce to your comments Hoyin. I can go out and hire a Porsche/ Ferrari or any other type of car, except a Noble. I understand what you are saying to a point. But if you charged enough to cover all the points you raised, then it would be an idea. I still as of today have not found anyone who hires a Noble. I have tried all the sites and people that have been named, but still with no joy. I cant believe how hard it is to find one hirer.

So if anyone out there on this Noble forum would like to let me know if they no anyone that would hire a Noble for a weekend, Please drop me a line. THANKS TO YOU ALL...
