Hi all,

Just a quick note to say that I have just completed on a fantastic Noble. Coming from a Z3M, I am amazed by the responsiveness of the engine at low revs and the incredible amounts of torque. I also love the chirps behind during gear changes - what a car!!

I will hopefully be contributing to the Forum and getting involved with some Noble Owners trips. Right now, I'm just so happy to finally own one!

Quick picture of the interesting stuff - any owners around London please send me a message, would be great to grab a beer.

Cheers,

Ollie.

Hi MG Bond - yeah, new Garretball bearing turbos, Hayward and Scott exhaust, pro-alloy radiator / intercooler, Rossion lights, ohlins shocks, quiafe lsd, itg air filters!

Surprised how snug it felt in the drivers seat and how close the pedals are together... it'll take some getting used to but heal/toe is a piece of cake!

Welcome Oliver. I'm in the market for a replacement for my recently written off 2.5 and saw your's online for sale. It certainly looks very tidy, but I thought it was advertised as a 3.0 not a 2.5?
I'm lovin those Rossion lights and would be tempted to try and get hold of some myself! (if I had a car to fit them to!!!)

Hi - I've actually just bought the one advertised - I'll take a look through the invoices and let you know how the previous owner got hold of the lights (I imagine straight import from the U.S.)

Thanks.

Welcome - looks like a really nice 2.5 with some careful upgrades.

The rear lights are just Hyundai Senotta (think thats how you spell it) You can get them on ebay, but require quite a bit of cutting of the rear clam to fit, so im told.

There are a few of us in surrey that meet up for the occasional early morning blast and breakfast after - the more the merrier! in fact the last time there were 3 of us, which certainly turned a few heads ;-)

Ollie if you search back on here there are some pictures and details of your car from a previous Essex based owner including some of the rear lights being fitted.
Welcome thumbup

I'm a big fan of the colour too - it is hard to photograph because of the depth, really is fab in the flesh. It's called "wine red" and although it was a factory respray, i don't think it was an offered colour on the new cars.

Great stuff - I'll take a look through and try and find the pictures, thanks guys.

With all these cars changing hands perhaps it'd be nice to have a pub meet-up again at some point?
