A 'dedicated owner' with the initals 'J' perchance?!

Picturing Justin like the Remington guy "I liked it so much I bought the company"

Not me, however I do know the details and as Lee says, this is a very exciting period for Noble.

Maybe he will have money to look after customers now ...

Performance, nothing else will do.

Cost?

Us, we test drive em, Lee learns and fixes em.

As for performance, Noble is the best for the money!

Lambo, Ferrari, Bring em on :-)

[nickytwohats]

Good luck Lee - someone with an "ousch" at the end of their name perhaps?

[mr noble]

details, detail, we weant details!!

Does this mean that Stuart Jones and his Pop have pulled away?

When is the new M12 car coming out then? Can we get the Lamborghini designer involved with the drawings please.

This press release does nothing but raise questions. When will greater detail be available?

As Lee has said the change is positive for Lee, and it means that more time can be spent on the M15 final design.

Lee's not said much more to me apart from I have to wait a few more months before I get to see the finished product. As soon as I've seen it, or I get any more details I'll let you know.

but I would imagine the people with deposits on M15s would probably want to know a bit more than this reassurance, I know I would. I wish Lee well but I'm getting anxious and I've got nothing at stake!

The owners club has been promised that when information is available we will be informed as quickly as possible.

So when we know, so will you.

[ahaughton]

I for one will be asking for my deposit back if the arse end of the M15 doesn't get sorted by the time my build slot (finally) appears...

Obviously did get bad. However I have personal experience of how distorted the press can make interviews so it may be wise to apply some salt. However it does make me wonder if this had anything to do with my, so far, 13 month wait for my M400!! It will still be worth it when it arrives though

It seems that the suppliers had switched off the supply of parts as they were probably in fear of not getting their money.That's probably somthing to do with thedelay.Noble have at least said that parts supply is now back on the go.I think one of the problems is they have to commit to so many cars from South Africa to make it worth there while out there to produce them.I think the number is somthing like 200 minimum so it's a bloody big investment needed.Who would want to make 200 chasis if they were in fear of getting paid for them.I got my deposit back on a GTC after 3 years of waiting,lots of promises but no car.Good luck to Noble with the new backer but a million is not much in that game.
