.... before I create a classified add, I thought I'd make a quick posting here first.

My beloved 2.5L M12 (V1 GTO) is going up for sale. She's had a good but hard life and I'll miss her, but I just don't seem to be around enough to actually ever drive the thing.

If there's anybody out there who's interested drop me a line for some details, I'm looking to find it a good home, where it will be looked after.

Long time no see.

It will be an end of an era for the V club. Jenks has gone so there are only you Rob and I left. A 50% reduction in membership in a matter of weeks, where did it all go wrong ?

Keep it or you will regret it for the rest of your life

Wooooooooorty !

Hello mate, how's things ?

Yeah, I know :-( it'll be the end of an era, but I hate to have it sitting around gathering dust :-(

I saw the green beast had been sold, a sad day.

You going to LeMans next year ?

Hi Jools - long time no hear! There's still one or two of us originals still flying the Noble flag, and I have to say, still having a hoot doing it.
What happened to the project you were building a while back?
Good luck with the sale.

Hi Rob,

Good to hear you are still flying the flag.

Oh, it was completed but it turned out to be a bit of a handful to drive (almost had me in the wall at paddock, Gregg knows how that feels ....). A chap bought it to race, and managed to smash it up. Shame....

I'm hoping someone enthusiastic gets interested......

Hope to do Le Mans next year as I've missed the last two.

Get yourself to Silverstone for the Britcar 24 hour there'll be a few of us there having a beer and watching Ash Obes and Greg doing the biz

Hello N2H ! thought you'd got yourself one of those M600 things ????

Yes, I'll probably miss her once she's gone, but oer the last two years I've not done any track days and I've only done a handful of miles.

How much ? probably about 15K I recon.

Hi Gadge,

It's currently SORN'd, but it's been looked after by John Noble Motorsport for years now. So he know's the car better than me I think !

The rear subframe needs a new coat of paint, the the chocolate exhaust needs rewelding. But she's got all the M400 bits (bar the stupid suspension), all bolted to a 2.5L motor.

I'll get her out on the drive and take some pic's for you.
