I'd like to say a big "Thank You" to everyone who's offered such helpful advice over the past few months.

To Simon Hucknall who took lots of time to chat to us at MPH05
To everyone who talked to us at the Owners Day at Brands Hatch,
especially Ash, Martin etc..
To everyone who's given advice on this forum on what to look out for.
And also to Giles Cooper, Mark and the guys at Noble London.

Well, we set out to hopefully get a 3R from a private sale with maybe 12-15k miles, and ended up completely blowing the budget, after visiting Noble London, on an 18 month old Viper Grey M400 with under 6k miles on the clock.

Could hardly wait during the week between Sat 1st April when we agreed to buy it, and Sat 8th when we picked it up. Haven't stopped smiling since then!

Here are a few photos:

Looking forward to future NOC meetings, and one or two track days no doubt.

Thanks again,

Conrad & Cecilia

Yep, Nobles should come with as wealth warning! I was looking for an interesting track-day toy for used Caterham money and ended up with a new M12!

Great choice C&C.

Glad you got one sorted and hope you love it as much as we all do!

See you at the next meeting!

I suggest you get booking your ferry to Le Mans! Not long now.

Conrad and Cecilia,
Happy Days!
You keeping the Skyline for a shopping car? I'm pretty sure I'll be in the UK at the end of the summer so see you then.

Martin.

Welcome to the Nobility.

I knew you would feel the force eventually. The Skyline is a lovely beast, but the Noble is so much more engaging.

Glad to have been able to help sway you.

See you at the next track day.

Martin.

Well, it was that or our old Cavalier, and given the Skyline has had loads of work on it, is now very reliable, has a decent boot and 4 seats, and Cecilia didn't want to get rid of it, it was the Cav that got the push. So yes, we are keeping it (for now).

Look forward to seeing you at the end of the summer, Martin.

Welcome to the Nobility C&C. Glad the forum helped you decide; although I suspect the outcome would have been the same even if you hadn't read a word of our drivel. One drive..forever smitten.
You'll also get great care and attention from the guys at LN; Skippy is the top-man mechanic.
