Don't know them but interesting to see the contrasting tail pipes...

Hope the dealer is as good at counting your cash as he is at counting spokes.smile

The silver one came from Perth in Scotland.
This car was on Auto Trader for around £22000 .
I was looking for a Noble at the time and spoke to the guy that was selling it apparently it was of the road and had not been used for a year.He did say some dealer was trying to buy it of him for sub 20 that's some mark up now.

Thanks for that,He has offered me a good p/ex on my car to be fair but then he should because these are top dollar [imo].
I could buy without selling my current car but trade in is the easy[expensive] way out .These have been in stock a while now they dropped them a £1000 a few weeks ago ,I guess the time of year slows things up in the specialist car market.

There's no mention of what work has been done on the engine's,if there both standard which the silver one looks like you could be looking and spending thousands to get them up to scratch, it may pay you to look for a car that has already had the money spent on it, that's the mistake I made

I don't think the silver one has been modified much just the exhaust apparently it came from noble like that.
It looks a nice car and depends what you want to use it for I am sure it will be a quick road car.

They seem reasonably informed about Noble's .The silver one has had the ECU changed and it is well presented with new tyres etc .I nearly bought it a few weeks ago but we were a bit apart on changeover price.

Both cars are very highly priced with very poor adverts , do they have track day sumps ? If not you cannot take them on track and its 1K to upgrade , if they are both 5 speed boxes the Diff is the weak link and at 25000 milage they could be knackered , mine was !!
It's engine out to fix cost 2k !!

Do they have MBE ecu's fitted , early 2.5 had Magnetti Mirrelli fitted and its prone to problems .

Check carefully for rust around the rear exhaust area , the sub frames can get very rusty .

Buying and owning a Noble can be a fantastic experience but it can also be painfully expensive and testing .

Good luck with the search .

Both appear very well presented. I'd say they were worth around the £25K mark with the mileage. Not getting the modded exhaust tips one myself but someone will taker it home and love it biggrin

I would hope I could get plus 22k for mine on 65k but mainly due to all the work done on it maybe even more with Respray and interior. But I'm not selling it smile

they do look presentable,

is that the original oil breather on the silver car? I'd check closely for the other necessary mods listed,

Prices are on the up for sure so looks only a tad overpriced for that mileage which is super low.. I'd be wary about that too. Check tell tale mileage clocking signs on wheel and seat bolsters etc, my 3R has done 40k and the bolsters are just starting to fade). As Tux says, its costs nothing to do homework and you can spend £'000's on upgrades and still not quite be finished so be prepared to open your wallet very wide smile

BTW - my take on both exhausts are - you can't unsee what you've seen and sometimes you just wish you could smile

Hell, why did he/she stop at four - I recall seeing an M12 with 6 or 8 pipes back in the day. Anyone got that photo? bounce
