I make no secret of the fact that I'm no fan of the M600. I don't like the M14 based dated design, I think the interior is awful and I'm firmly in the camp that believes that Noble should have built a mind blowing £100,000 car instead. I've seen it at motor shows, the factory and in pictures and been largely unimpressed, and I'm not entirely convinced by the business model.

However, today I saw it (the grey and red one) in a different situation. On the road, in a small village in normal driving circumstances and I was quite impressed. It certainly has presence. It sounds great and it looks... different... unusual... stylish even.

There do seem to be a decent number of people prepared to pay the price it will demand. It gets great driving reviews and even a lot of the early doubters from this forum seem to be coming round to it.

I'm not a convert, and I'm not sure that a more sedate version without the Halfords parts bin colour coding (which I hate) will have the same impact, but it's got... something.

By the way, it was in rural Kent today. Did I miss a local show?

it has gone down as an iconic car already in the eyes of those that appreciate a drivers car

i reckon they won't make many and it will be fetching F40 money in years to come
