So, bearing in mind that DVLA Noble registration data has always been know to be incomplete and rocking horse rare to extracate, I wonder what source this dealer is using to access how many by colour?

This was the ad banner:
Second Hand Noble M12 GTO 2.5 Only 5 Ever Made In Yellow! for sale in Harrogate, North Yorkshire - UK Sports & Prestige

The advert:

Maybe the previous owner or either owner or they contacted Noble?

Would have thought it was quite simple.

Apparently not so Martin. Many here has tried to extract build info. from DVLA (and from Noble) without success. The list whereby someone has started a thread here asking for build numbers, colours, types, etc., etc. (one very recently) is many.

I think the difficulty is something to do with the fact that back in the day these were SVA'd vehicles DVLA mis-filed builds under different categories.

I would rely on Daisy's database here as the most acurrate pre-M600 Noble database but if anyone has a build list for M12/400s then please so share biggrin

I was thinking more about colour. If they think only 5 were in yellow then the factory (if original people still there) would probably remember.

I understand from recent conversations and the website that most of the people are original, albeit a low number employed, including mechanics, parts etc.
