Anyone on here ever driven a Noble M12 GTO? Currently high on my wish list.... |
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 :D
|
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!!! Rich |
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. dela |
There was an M12 getting built at John Nobles as I was waiting on my car being mapped..... V.nice it was as well :) |
...and Esprits used to have Allegro door handles and big Astons had Citroen wing mirrors :eek:
|
I saw one last night at the Anchor pub,Oakerthorpe in Derbyshire.There was a few scoobs there too.Anyone on here?
