First sunny day for ages Noble all polished, thought I'd go for a lazy run in the country. I didn't bargain on a stag jumping off a high bank and doing this. Hopefully it's repairable as its a good car but who knows? We reckon it weighed 100-150 kg and hit at 50mph. It nearly came through the screen, had I been 'at warp speed' I wouldn't be writing this. I count myself lucky but unlucky. Just hope insurance sanction the repairs and Jetstream can do it.

Happy New Year to all the Nobility.

Christ, you have some bad luck! Good news is obviously you're ok. I wish your car a speedy recovery, I span mine off the road a couple of years ago after hitting diesel, seemed an eternity to get it fixed, here's to a happier new year 🍻

That's a real sorry sight but from the pics it looks a relatively straight forward repair. Good to hear you ok & in future try my theory that had you been going faster you'd have been down the road when the deer crossed the road thumbup

Ouch, glad u are ok.

From experience Deffo go for original clam. A rear is about 2.3k. They will fix it.

That must have been terrifying! Glad you are ok. Hope your insurance company play ball and let Jetstream sort it.

sorry to see this looks a real mess, must have been scary...

Genuine front clam is around 1.5k, not sure how 'hands on' you are but you would be welcome to come round and make yourself a carbon clam from my mould lol
I have moulds of the entire body including the light pods! Im not into making parts for others though so you would have to come and do some DIY.

I think screens are around £400 when I looked at buying outright, ended up claiming on insurance instead tho.... If you have trouble sorting stuff I also have second hand clam, A post, rad, alloy shrouds, etc etc as i bought a spare front end recently lol... hate seeing cars smashed up frown

Thank you and all the others for your kind words and offers, as I write this its hopefully on its way to Jetstream. Apparently the engineer is going to inspect it on site there. Ironically it would have been going up to Bruntingthorpe in two months for a service and some preventative maintenance anyway.

I will await the news from Hagerty and fingers crossed work can start.

It suddenly dawns on you, were it written off, which it shouldn't be, you can't just go and get another good un. This is not a thought I've ever had as mine is a long term keeper. A replacement would be another M12 3/3R but how long before anyone releases theirs for sale, the wait could be a long one.

Venison anyone

Crikey I bet that shook you up! Looks like it's a relatively easy fix for jetsream. Hopefully the insurance company get it sorted and back on the road asap.

What a sorry sight! You just have to be grateful there were no human injuries.
Shame there's no stag blood and guts all over the damaged area, as that would have been quite a spectacle on the back of the tow truck!
