Just came across this advert for a secondhand Noble M12 GTO 3R on a Belgian website and it looks quite suspicious to me.

http://www.2dehands.be/autos/maserati/overige-mode...

The advert says it's an original 2004 Noble M12 GTO equipped with a semi-automatic transmission (?), dual airbags (?), ABS (?) and electric windows (?).
There's not much more information on the car and just 3 pictures.
From the rear I'm guessing it's a UK car but the interior pic shows a LHD car.
And the asking price is quite ridiculous.
I have flagged the advert as a possible scam on the website.

Anyone of you know this car?

AFAIR by January 2004 nobody would have taken delivery of a late 2.5 or 3.0 with the upgraded 3R already having been delivered to first customers for some months. The photos show a 3R rear clam, 2.5 or 3.0 front clam, abortion of a centre consoland clearly a manual box, but it could be genuine. Not all dealers know much about the marque. As to the price - a bargain - well, he's probably been reading our posts smile

A '3 exterior (incl wheels) and a '3R interior.
Very fishy.

But knock €100k off the price.... smile

the first picture shows it is a RHD car as steering wheel is that side and noble badge is correct so its not a 'reversed' picture.... the interior shot is of a different car, UNLESS it was converted to LHD after the first picture was taken.
