Hiyall. Sorry for the silly questions (I am new to being interested in a Noble) : Jeremy C and the videos of the Noble website talk about 2.5 litre Duratec development with twin turbos slapped on. Then I find in the forum some spec sheets from brochures mentioning 3.0 litres. Did I miss something on the Noblecars website?
Who out there "uses the force" to corner in his/her Noble as Jeremy C mentioned?

Hi Skippy,

The M12's were supplied with 2.5L but now come with 3.0L ..... BHP increased from 310 to 340 I believe.

Hi Silkygal,

Thanks for response. I actually took time (rare thing) to read through the topics, and learned about the new engines. Did you find the owner of the Champagne coloured Noble?

Not yet, he/she will turn up some day.
Are you going to order a Noble? (Or at least steal one ... the cops won't be able to catch you so it's safe !!)

I had to steal my own motorbike yesterday, some b*st*rd nicked my keys, cell phone and briefcase. Not worried about car too much (Rover 45 turbo...diesel oh no!). Will buy a Noble when: a) I decide to not buy the house and stay in small apartment OR b) decide to blow the savings for a boat on the Noble (already decided anyway)! c) when I get another more highly paid job! Do you own a Noble? Pretty name BTW

I am the owner of the champagne M12 GTO. I guess it is the only one around so it must be me you want to talk to. Hope I haven't done anything wrong!!!
