Wouldn't mind terribly (working on my British affect here) having a small Noble M400 model on my desk during these wintry months. Does anyone know of any?

Thanks

Doug,
There has been lots of talk of these in the past, but as far as i'm aware nobody actually ever seemed to produce them.

Last I heard it was a "race" between a miniature (3/3R/M400 - anything will do) being available, and the full-size M14. Mind you, that was nearly a year ago.......

There are no Noble models on the market as yet. However, I have commisioned three different companies - each with worldwide distribution facilities - to produce models of the M400/12 and M14. Their lead times are six to nine months, but you should see the first cars on sale this summer.

I'll obviously release full information nearer the time.

They'll probably beat the first M14 units to market!

Do they have to pass the crash tests first?

Simon,
Thanks for the information! I guess a computer desktop picture will have to serve in the meantime.
cheers,

The tool and die maker( as well as vacume former) at the noble factory in SA showed us a model he had cast. I am sure if you told Jimmy you would pay he would commision some for you.

Thanks for the heads up, John. I may well contact Jimmy. However, as a brand-building venture, we're after global distribution, which is why I've selected established companies.
