noble in cleethorpes.. m14??

[GuyVXT]

looked like it had the front end of an m14 (see pic below) but had mondeo saloon tail lights?



also had A14 NBL on the plate or similar.. did the m14's ahve mondeo lights? as the pic son the internet show some round lights?

[worty]

M14 never produced and the prototype sits at the back of the factory. Probably a M12 GTO 3 or M400

what i dont get is it didnt have the m12 front lights

the m12's ive seen have roundish lights

whereas this had more squarey light clusters like the above pic?

[GuyVXT]

front end looked like this (lights) and i remember the sides being similar to the above pic?!



but it had mondeo saloon rear lights? but didnt have a big spoiler'y bit above the rear lights as per the m12 gto?

[worty]

Could have been a GTO3 or M400 without a wing. They have lights like this

S'pose its an M15 (THE M15?) prototype

[GuyVXT]

it definately wasnt like that mate.. theres a couple of m12 gto's round here but they have the round lights like that.. this had square'y ones like the pics i posted.. and it had the side vent bit? but it had the same mondeo saloon rear clusters.


i was certain it was A14 NBL on plate.. but that comes up as a merc on the vehicle check sites

wish i had took a quick pic!



here's the m15:



but the front lights on that look more rounded than the one i saw, and the m15 has round rear lights.

John Barker from Evo is from Cleethorpes/Grimsby way.

Could of been on road test/photo shoot maybe?

[GuyVXT]

god knows.. confused!


definately was NOT an m12.. theres a couple of them round here and can tell them a mile off.

[amg merc]

Surely the clues are here...

M1X delayed many years
New cash injection
Entire prior model line deleted
No comments at all from factory for ages
No comments at all from dealers for ages
No test-bed seen for ages
Factory not taking maintenance work until further notice

... it's finally coming - sooon!

Looks a bit like a Saggy with those lights

Are the actually putting a V8 in this one as rumours suggests or will it be another Duratec?

[guyvxt]

well if the next noble looks like the front/side of the m14 prototype but with the mondeo saloon rear lights as per the m12... you heard it here first

[gtfctim]

Was it blue?

There's often a blue Nobel parked down Marshall Avenue in Grimsby outside a garage.

[GuyVXT]

yer it was blue.. dunno where marshall ave is.. go get a piccy of it

i know theres been two m12 GTO's around light blue and dark blue iirc. (think light blue one was the butcher petits)

[gtfctim]

It's off Cromwell Road.
