Question

Was travelin' up M1 on way to Nottingham when I spotted a very low sporty looking coming up outside lane (tailgating the car infront) as it came past it was a Noble <drool>, have seen them stood still before, motorshow etc but in the flesh it was even more amazing

Had no number plates on it, so I assume that it was a factory car, as it was just past Leicester where I saw it.

Anyway dream over, maybe one day

Anyone else spotted one on your travels?

I used to see one around Princes Risborough (Bucks). I presume it belonged to JK. As you say - absolutely stunning in the flesh (the car that is, not JK).

Cool

As it went passed I had to open my window to have a listen , couldn't tell it was running I know it's a turbo and not a V8 etc and it wasn't flying (80mph ish) so would have been on low boost but even so thought it would have had a bit of a note

Oh well they've lost a customer 'cos of it (yeah right)!!!

Been for a test drive in one (a little small inside considering I'm 6'6"), however, the dual dump valves are great and it sounds reasonable when on soong. The engine sound is the biggest let-down though, as the steering and feel is better than any car I have ever driven - forget lotus, caterham, westfield etc this beats them all.
