Noble Chassis no. 2
Discussion
...the first customer M10 that I purchased 13 years ago. Therefore being the oldest Noble car there is.
My wife Gill and I are separating and she wants the Noble M10 as part of our settlement, to which I have agreed, for various reasons.
Would you like to speculate on a value for the car. I have the provenance to prove the car is what I say it is and of course the factory know who I am. So sadly I am no longer a Noble car owner, after 13 years of continuous ownership of the M10/M12 GTO3R (sold 6 years ago). However I still cherish the great camaraderie generated by the many people that I have met through the forums, the great times down at Le Mans, the video'd running start to our cars in Mulsanne etc, etc.
I still have a lot of early Noble marketing stuff and of course my Noble Jacket, Caps Etc!!!!
I have one wish...that Noble Automotive get back to producing something akin to what the M12/M400 aspired to be (and in fact achieved) a brilliant example of a drivers car, which any car I have driven since or will do in the future, will fail to match.

Hi Chris, very sorry to hear this. We met years ago at your lovely house on our way to the Silverstone meet, at the time, I wasn't brave enough to take my M12 out, but I went out with you in the M10, lovely bit of kit.
As far as value is concerned, and as I take it you are not selling but handing over, I'd get Noble or one of their dealers to value it. Being such a rare bit of kit it would be hard, but you could easily say 50k plus. On the basis of this being a divorce settlement, I'd say 150k!!
only trouble with that is you could find yourself with the M10 and less of the house!!!

Hi Chris,Sorry to hear of your parting.
Perhaps one day you could once again purchase an M12, but sorry, you're not getting your old -3R back. I'm enjoying it too much! (albeit it's being fixed again at the moment...)
Hi Chris, Sorry to hear your splitting up. We also met but at the 1st Silverstone 24hr meet (I have the Azure blue M10) and you took me around Rockingham in Jarcy's car!!
For insurance reasons I went through a similar process of investigation i.e. Factory, reasearch etc. and drew a blank. The factory bought A18NBL from the open market a few years back to put in the showroom but they wouldn't mention the purchase price.
My thoughts (right or Wrong) would be to always pitch it under the cheapest M12, but I know rarety in cars plays the bigger part.
The only other thought I had was to speak to an insurance assor or car auctioneer (if you know any), which I don't.
If you want to chat any further feel free to PM me.
