Anyone on here ever driven a Noble M12 GTO? Currently high on my wish list....

Robyn

NO but I have seen and heard a few knocking about round egham and they look and sound very special indeed!

No, but I did sit in one!!! Bloody awesome motor and enough room for my 6'4" girth ;0))

Yes - took a test drive at Mole Valley last year. The roads were a bit restrictive to open it up but I got the general idea.

Fanstastic car in every way - I really can't fault it other than I can't afford one yet. The noise of the dump valves is highly amusing. I got back in the P1 to drive home and it felt slow!!

Was at Crail on Friday afternoon (just visiting) and was told that track was closed for private use. Turned out 'Alexander Noble' (according to the guys that I met) was up there testing his own modified Noble on the strip........watched for about 20 mins and all I can say is how fast??? and the noise was incredible, so whiney and mechanical!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the standard m12 gto at £49,950 looks like bargain of the decade to me!

Not bad for a Ford Duratec V6 outta the Mondeo... of course the Mondeo does without the twin turbos though

Apparently the car's built using a lot of standard parts from Ford which helps to keep the cost down. I certainly noticed the rear lights are off a 93-96 Mondeo 4-door.

Fantastic car from every comment I've read about it.

Heh tis a bit like the tvr chimera, have a look at the rear clusters, then go find a mk4 (i think its 4 and not 3) fiesta, turn your head upside down and have a look :-).

And Griffiths had upside down Cavalier lights

reaton

And 350's (wedges) had upside down Granada lights from memory!

They certainly had Granada side glass which was lots cheaper from the Ford breakers than from TVR dealers!!!

I did a trackday at Hullavington, Wilts last month in the scoob.

In attendance was a lurvely black M12, though the best bit was the whine of those twin turbos, like a Harrier taking off!

It looked very poised handling wise aswell, from following through some of the wiggles setup on track.
