I've seen it reviewed on that car TV show from Britain whose name escapes me at the moment. It's an incredible, ultra-high performance car, but very expensive, and probably at least as hard to find as a blue 968.

Unless there are two completely different mfgs using the name Noble on their vehicles, the only one I've heard of has been around since 2000

(I think) looking somehwat like a kit car, with around 350hp, but lately I heard they' re producing them with 600+ hp... and I suspect also priced accordingly <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/unsure.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> , perhaps in the $200k category..

I can't imagine you'll find an old one easily, and even then I'd think you may still be looking at a price point over $ 50k, but I could be wrong

HI Guys,



I have been looking and it seems you can get an M400 for about 70K and Blue has not been a problem to find.

From what I understand Mr. Noble has designed some of the highest quality exotic cars and so he decided to build his own and it is Aewsome!!!

I am looking at the newer styles rather than the older M12's as you mentioned, I have heard the older ones have had some issues.



Thanks

Nelson

Just an observation, the M15 looks similar to and has comparable performance of the Factory5 GTM. The GTM is only around $35K US. True, it is a kit car, however it utilizes the underpinnings of a donor C5 or Zo6 Vette. Even if you hire a shop to build it for you have all the luxury bits added you'd have one heck of a supercar for a lot less...

See:

F5 GTM

The Lotus dealer in Birmingham Mi. (Auto Europe, 248 645 6300) has one for sale. It's grey, I think they want 72K for it.

Take a look at a Lotus Exige as well. Two weeks ago at Gratton I watched one stay with a GT2.

regards,

Richard
