Saw one of these in the garage while getting petrol today - awesome looking car. Spoke to the owner and asked if I could have a closer look and he asked me if I wanted to sit in it. Unreal, like looking out of a letterbox but side and rear visibility not that bad. Just feels like a race car inside with loads of alcantara, stubby gearlever and starter button etc.

The owner has had it about 9 months and had no problems at all. has done trackdays and Noble fine tune the suspension and brakes so suit your needs. Really nice guy too, very down to earth, even said he liked my RB5!

Yes it funny, i always found Lotus owners easy to chat to, nice down to earth types. Hate BMW types, Mecrs etc......

As for the M12 i got Clarksons latest video, he loves it! Noble has got the grunt of a TVR and the balance, feed back and handling of a Lotus.

I wouldn't have one, because.....no ABS, no Air bag and not as crash worthy as a Boxster etc. Yes i know, but we live in the World where "Sh*t happens" and i seen it happen a lot!

My Hope is the forth coming Lotus range will be everything the M12 is and more.
Cheers

Saw Mark Williams' car in the local garage. Not a write-off but in need of a bit of repair work! Fair play though - looks great in black and much better that than some stodgy Merc...
