I am currently awaiting the arrival of my new 3R. Ordered in last weekend and have only 10 weeks to wait!

How many other owners are there in the Suffolk area? Do you take part in track days / events?

I feel this is going to be a very long 10 weeks..........

10 weeks from new? This could be a record - the quote used to be 6-10 months!

From Kerridges? I got mine from there in 3 weeks. There's a list of pre-spec'd machines popping out every week or two. I was lucky. Wanted 3R with track day sump in Indigo Blue...and there it was!

You want a Martin colour and I bet you're back into the many months again.

Yes, but I'll put money on it that it wouldn't be like that now after the motor show orders have come in. And another thing, the factory knew I was emigrating to Spain so my car went through the production process covered in Vaseline!(thanks Lee) Martin.

Ah yes, living in the sun. Nice. I got offered a job in Trinidad last year. Very tempted but it's a long way from here and the flights cost loads. Some great roads though. Portugal for me I think.

Yes, its from Kerridge's, who have been great to deal with and very helpful. Its a pre-spec'd car. It just happens that the factory have a car in the spec I was after ready in 10 weeks.

Metallic black with red leather.

So, how many of you guys are in the East of England then?

That'd be great, I really like that circuit. You going to be around that area? I used to go to Motril quite a bit years ago....ah, I feel early retirement coming up again.

There I was thinking there weren't too many Nobles in my area S3am.
I live about 7 miles from sudbury, and my local dealer is also Kerrridges.

It was Stephen Kerridge who out me onto a private sale.

Even with no commission for him so a bottle of wine is on it's way to Kerridges.

Many thanks Stephen if your out there.

Aha,

I only live a few miles from Sudbury, out towards Hedingham. Kerridges were excellent, very kind, courteous and definately not patronising given that I am fairly young.

What colour is your Noble? Nice to know people round here have excellent taste!!!

I will definitely second that about Kerridges. When I first went on a test drive I was very scruffily dressed and they didn’t seem to mind one bit. I am sure my age goes against me as well..... but they have always been very polite and extremely helpful.

Actually, what is the average age of a Noble owner!?

Mine is Jaguar Racing green

I live near Earls Colne so guess I'll be bumping into you now and again( not literally !!! )

As for the age of Noble drivers I clock in at 36 years young.
