Hi everyone. Just wanted to say hello to all . I've just bought a beautiful Titanium 3R from "V8_steve" in York and wanted to say hello.
I've wanted a Noble for the last 4-5 years and now my dream has come true it really is as good as i hoped!
Special thanks to steve for looking after it so well, its got to be one the best examples i've seen with some wonderful mods.
It has a full noble motorsport exhaust and manifold system, Bosch 044 pump, larger intercooler, a nice reversing camera system and a nice 419BHp remap.

Just sold a Vx220 Turbo, a Monaro VXR and a triumph speed triple bike to fund it but it's definetly worth it! My grin is so big i now need plastic surgery to remove it smile It joins my trusty Ford GT40 replica which i also love so my garage is looking pretty cool at the moment, provided you ignore the old VW Golf outside i've had to buy to get to work in! Never mind, i dont regret a thing, just bring on the summer. Already got plans to go on a driving holiday with friends to the Nurburgring in August.

Special thanks to Tuxman and Martin who answered my extensive questions and convinced me at the Racing car show i was doing the right thing! Im based in Redditch in Worcestershire just south of Bham so if there any close members give me a shout, would love to chat Nobles !, or GT40's !

Jason , Redditch



my other half!

Thanks for the welcome all. Hopefully get a nice picture of the 2 together in a month or so as the GT is just finishing its winter upgrades including aircon and 4 pot callipers and a retrim. If you think a Noble gets hot inside you want to try one of these !!

Hi Paul. Yep Steve did a great job of looking after it, it's the best one I have seen that's for sure. I'm going to try my best to keep it as lovely as it is.
The gt40 is a tornado kit, most parts are bespoke as opposed to donor parts, although it does have a mustang ford 331 small block with a Renault transaxle. Don't think I will ever sell the car though, they will probably bury me in it!!

What variant is the GT40? Lovely, although you should have clearly got a blue one wink
