Spanish-Tuquoise GTO-3R spotted!!!
Discussion
I have in my posession photos of a long-awaited metallic Turquoise M12 GTO-3R destined for the Costa del Sol. Should a certain Mr. MARTIN JENKINS (AKA: V6 GTO) feel obliged to bring a small packet of wonga around to my house tonight (or a 6-pack!) I may allow him to see his baby first!!! If I do not hear from him I will be forced to post these on the www for all to see!!! ;-)
I also have photos of a white (yessa, WHITE!) GTO-3R destined for Italy - looks nice!

yes.. i dont get it.. Spanish-Tuquoise whats that all about?
Tim, Martin special ordered a British Leyland (OK, Rover!!!) colour as he is a flash git who is going to live in Spain and wanted something a little different -at one point he even wanted gold wheels but (fortunately?!) changed his mind - well I;ve seen the colour now so...
DRUMROLLL...
Note both Martin's turqoise and the Italian White 3R have a revised grill, apparently for different number plates!
Also see Lee Noble's latest steed - I'm assured that he ONLY has this for comparative purposes!!! LOL ;-)
Lastly. note the latest cool M12 colour - a cross between blue and silver (Bob told me the name of it three times but, being in such a big boy's toyshop I was pre-occupied and forgot!).

BTW Martin, I did tell you that someone has already NICKED YOUR WHEELS, didn't I?! LOL :-)

At last!
I'm now eagerly awaiting the Nobility's comments on the colour choice.....Martin.
PS - Two things spring to mind when I look at the photos. The wing is supposed to be bare carbon fibre and the M12 GTO & 3R badges were supposed to be omitted!
PPS - Is it the photos Rob, or are my black seats grey?

Martin - the colour looks good actually - better than I expected 
http://gallery76718.fotopic.net/p5548730.html - I love that colour, with black wheels in M400 form please.
What tyres are on that black front wheel?

Glad you like it Martin - it'll look a lot better with the wheels on. I don't think the interior was jet black, the wing is definately colour-keyed and for sure the badges are in situ - maybe the SA's can't do changes (or can't read an order form!). Also, we noticed that your wing-mirror backs were not fitted (maybe they were inside somewhere for safekeeping?!).

I don't know what they were but the tread pattern didn't look like it would move as much water as the SO3's. Did you notice that the M400 has the front splitter back on?

Those are Pirelli P-Zero Corsa, standard issue on the M400.
Competition tires, 6/32" tread depth.

Rob,
I cannot open your photo file this morning, but I think you spotted mine at the factory last week. It was in for service. The colour is Crystal Topaz and a special order colour. Check my profile for a full picture.
A huge thanks to Bob Sharpe (what a gentleman) and the crew for a brilliant job at the factory.
Anyone up for Donnington on Friday 9th July. RMA noisy day. I'm booked in. It would be good to see some other Nobles.
Cheers,
Ian.

Ian, there was a superb Crystal Topaz yesterday but I guess this wasn't yours?!
