Less of the nutcase please

As stated, car should be ready to go in about 3-4 weeks time with a bit of luck.

The price may alter depending on interest. But I am keen to at least seal some interest in the vehicle prior to it being collected from the factory.

Sorry if the price affects any other users on the site, it is not intended that way. I simply don't have the time to sit on the it for a few months to drag a higher price out of someone. I won't even bother letting you know what the p/ex figure from my local stealer was!

Great car - Great price!

Don't worry I don't think all other 3R's for sale will follow suit, as people are still prepared to pay the retail on this type of car. If they see a bargin then thats great but as they say one sunny day doesn't make a summer.

I know lots of people who want quick sales do reduce their cars by alot and this does work if your willing to loose out, but hey, if you can afford the drop then theres no worries.


When I was looking for one they were getting snapped up because of Jeremy Clarkson's report and the NEC Motorshow.


Since owning this car when I have been out and about it has caused more attention and interest than the Ferrari 360's and Porsche 996 Turbo's it has been parked up against simply because of the rare factor. In time when the word NOBLE gets around I wonder if depreciation will slow down even more because of demand and for being exclusive. The Ferrari owners were more than impressed to my surprise.

Indeed, mine was parked in Maranello's Egham yesterday (no, can't say why it was there! :-)) and, amongst the beautiful Ferrari, Porsche and Maserati lineup, mine was the only car with a crowd around it. I had the rear clam up for inspection by both foreigners and Brits! I do hope they continue to retain their rarity value by lack of over-production!

BTW, the Swedish guy was asking what the torque was in NM's as he didn't get our antiquated 'ft/lbs' - anyone know?!

Google has a built in calculator for this kind of stuff.

Go to Google and type 350 pound foot in Newton meters, click on search and it comes back with...

350 (pound force foot) = 474.536282 Newton meters



It works for most conversions

Muchos gracious amigo - of course, I didn't have my PC logged in whilst in their car park (nor do I have fancy phone/PDA!) - the cable from my house wasn't long enough!!! LOL :-)

I never saw it, but thats a good price for a 3R.I presume it was advertised on the classifieds.
I'm not sure if i will buy my mates as its probably not the most practical car for london driving.Not sure if there are any in London used on a daily basis.Uhmmmmm i'll have to think about that one.

Car is now sold.

Respray was due to something reacting with the paintwork causing it to blister. Noble kindly offered to carry out a full respray to make sure everything was resolved 100%.

Buyer got themselves a bargain! In case any are wondering......it went for more than the asking price.
