:
My car, without doubt, is the best looking Noble ever made! (In my very humble opinion)

All I can say is 'All you doubters re the colour, just wait untill you see it in the flesh!' Apparently the whole factory came to a standstill when it came off the lorry.

I am sooooo happy. The factory are sorting out the wing(putting a bare carbon one on), it's getting the black M400 wheels & mirror covers to keep the black and turquoise theme going, and I shoud have it by the end of July! Martin.

Can you still remember that feeling, Guy, or does it last for ever?

Let's hope for your sake that the factory was not so bowled over they make it the next "standard" colour.

The colour is unique and looks utterly gorgeous on the car...IMHO.

Hi all

I went along to the factory yesterday with Martin to look at his new aquisition and I must say that it was a most impressive operation and we had a thouroughly enjoyable time at 'Lee's place'.

All the staff were very friendly from reception through to the engineers that were building the cars, and there must have been at least 40 cars pending 'Meccano' operations

I was very impressed with the build quality, attention to detail and flexibility offered by the Noble team, and wondered if I had come into contact with Noble before Ultima, would I have bought a Noble?
Ironic, as they were both born from the same man.

The technician that was working on Martins' car said he would love an Ultima as exactly the same time I was thinking I would love a Noble - surreal moment.

And I was going to mention the colour, which according to an employee caused everyone to stop work and have a look as they have not seen one like it before, but I see it may have been mentioned 'slighly' before but it looks much better in the flesh as the pictures do not do it any justice.




Cheers for the day out Martin, and only three weeks to go

That means Noble will have a spare tourquoise wing for somebody that wants a two tone exterior...or maybe they can just give it to you along with the bare carbon one so that you can have the option!

Martin.
Where did you get the idea for a colour like that? Presumably the smilies surrounding your first post.
Here's a few more.

Personally I think the colour is brill, a mate of mine thinks so much of it he has some mountain bikes, a car, a couple of motorbikes an assortment of scooters and lots of other toys in the same colour!!







Give us a shout when the car is ready and I will forward the FPR stickers!

The Petronas colour is much more blue than Polynesian Turquoise, and not metalic. Still a nice colour though.
