Universal Salvage are offering a slightly damaged Noble for Salvage. See here for details.

Incredible body damage, but a testament to the safety of the car as the inside seems completely unscathed.

Anyone know who this belonged to? Is it the ex-demonstrator that was mentioned on here a month or so back?

Hmmm... I wonder how much a new body shell is for the Noble.

This looks like the HR Owen demonstrator that got trashed.

Surely someone will buy it for £8k...

What's the legalities of buying it and using it for spares etc?

its category D, so you can just rebuild it and stick it back on the road (reregistered) i think. might well be wrong though...

Not wrong. Cat D's can be repaired and reused without any problem. This one appears to have no log book, so you'd probably want to check with the DVLA first.
