Hi All,

Next year I will be purchasing a Noble M12 GTO3R.
For the last 3 hours I have been browsing the comments on this sub forum and have found the information very useful.

I just wanted to know from owners on what to look out for when buying a Noble,
I have seen a Noble buying guide but nothing really in depth.
Now I love cars, I don’t mind working on them and getting my hands dirty but I must admit I am pretty obsessed with the cars that I purchase being as best as they can be. So it would be nice to perhaps meet a couple of owners so they can point out areas to check etc.

If anyone has any links to good advice, common problems, reliability issues/resolutions etc I would love to have some bedtime reading.

Thanks all,
A fellow future Noble owner

There are a few of us in Hampshire, where are you. Come along to one of the south coast meets or any others for a chat.

Hi Richard,

It's a shame the search function on here doesn't work at the moment, I'd recommend going to a meet as it's by far the best way to find out about them. I did loads of research before I bought mine which ultimately made me buy the right car.
You won't regret it! thumbup

Yeah I know, been trawling through 800 odd pages looking for scraps of information etc. I have learnt a lot by doing that and will continue to read through but defo need to meet a few of you owners so you can impart your knowledge/experiences.

cheers to everyone so far.. Always nice when you get a good friendly reaction smile

I dont suppose anyone is about today around hampshire that could show me around their GTO3R?
I am at a bit of a loose end and it would be a great oppertunity to talk with a owner smile

I would go and have a look at Mole valley (as they have one at the moment) but its not really fair to do that considering i am not going to be buying one until may next year.

Hi Dom,

I am not too far from Mole Valley - i.e. I am in Surrey about 30 mins away. However I am super busy this weekend - but possibly could do some other time.

Jay,

Sounds good - I can't do anything for the next couple of weekends but perhaps one evening?

Richard - I'll be along to Goodwood tomorrow so will look out for a geek with a notepad! Do say hello; Rob is wise in the ways of the Noble and his Nob's the only one with Union Jack wing mirrors. Mine'll be the red one.

I have a lunch "ultimatum" so will be there for 8 and gone shortly after 10:00.
