Hi all,

Recently started looking at the Noble (M12, hopefully a GTO-3 depending on prices) as an alternative to my so far unsuccessful search for a V8 Esprit.

Was just wondering if there were any owners in the midlands (I live in Banbury but work in Coventry) who wouldn't mind taking a little time out of their day for me to have a look at their car and a bit of an owners run through of quirks to be aware of etc smile

Many thanks,
Alex

Why not take a trip over to Jetstream at bruntingthorpe in Leicester. Not only will there be Nobles to look at but they can talk you through what to look for.

Hello! I'm in Leamington Spa but work at Gaydon. My car is currently having some work done but should be ready soon, do we work for the same company I wonder?

Thanks for the replies smile

mgbond - You've actually predicted my next question which was going to be about specialists. Alot of the ones mentioned in wiki's etc seem to have disappeared sadly but good to know there are still specialists out there. I'm very much a hands on person but appreciate there are some things best left to those who work on them day in/out, and afterall even parts advice has to come from somewhere smile Will do some more google-ing of them and as you say try and get across at some point perhaps.

Will check out the Rockingham noble meet smile Is there a link to the details anywhere at all?

Chappers - Doubtful to be working for the same company, the hobby is very much separate from work wink What work are you having done to your car currently? When you get your car back though if you wouldn't mind sparing a little time would be great to take a look and have a conversation.

Has anyone seen the Belgian GTO3 for sale at the moment? Seems a bargain at £21k (28,5k euros iirc) - not sure if that's because of the mileage and awkwardness of buying a car outside of the UK or another reason? The more I think about it, the more I'm inclined to drop him an email smile
