Does anyone own a 3r with under 8000 miles on the clock?

[S1mon L]

Hi Guys, does anybody out there own a 3r or m400 with under 8000 miles on the clock?

Looking for one and just wondered if i am asking for too much? Do they even exsist at that mileage?

[ThatPhilBrettGuy]

There probably are some, but I doubt if they'll be any better than examples with double or more that mileage. What do you think will be better on a low mileage car?

[S26VE P]

Im sure they do exist but from looking a alot of cars before i bout mine IMO why you after one with so low mileage? All the niggles are sorted with one thats done a few more miles I have a 20k mile GTO -3

Why do you want one with such low milage?
These cars do not benifit from just sitting round all the time.

Thankyou for prompt replies!!!

No reason why looking for one with under 8000 miles, especially as i take the point that they dont like to be sat around in damp garages, but interested to find out whether there were any about and whether mileage seriously affected the pricing on nobles.

Missed out on Mr Noble's blue 3r which sold a little while ago so will continue to look!!

Thanks guys

Mine 3 ( with 3R box/LSD ) has got 11500 miles on it - it's a 53 plate.

Well stop posting on here and go drive it.
(says the man who has not driven the Noble since last september. )

[snuffy]

Oi - I bought it with 8500 miles on it and that was just over a year ago.

[Jenx]

My Sept. 04 3R has got 19k on it but at least 14k of that is motorway miles to Spain and back.

[Mr Noble]

I'd buy Jenx's car. Next to my blue £r its probably the best one about and has been serviced and maintained by one of the best noble/car techs in the game.

[gadgeroonie]

mine has done under 9000 and is a 53 plate also

i nearly bought one that had under 2.5 k on it !

but do not think a low mileage will be a good buy because of the mileage

i suggest you go for a 6 speed box, full service history and an upgraded fuel pump - there are some bargains out there

consider an m400 if you can stretch a bit further

there are plenty that have had a few mods - mine has had m400 suspesnsion fitted an uprated box lsd and intercooler

Noble owners love to modify thier cars so don't be put off by a few mods

[S1mon L]

Yes, have looked through some old threads and seen some of the must do mods, so not concerned about that.

Budget can stretch to an m400 so will have to see what's about. 3r more for me I think as most of the time will be spent on the road.

Green Noble looks a fantastic spec but think it mite be abit too bold for me!!!

Mine's a 54 plate M400 with 8000 miles on it. Owned it 2 years but a house build has meant it has hardly been used!!

[ThatPhilBrettGuy]

I can probably claim the least used Noble over the last year having travelled the mammoth distance of 760 miles....with 300 of them in one trip to Mira, and a good few more with the speedo pinned to the stop over 200mph. Glad I fixed that one!

you need shooting...

Ok, so my 3R's on a 53 plate with 4950 miles on the clock! Why buy a low mileage one? No reason really as it's the condition with any car is everything. Just so happens that as a result of it's meager dry miles, mine's like brand new! In my search for the right car I saw low mileage examples that were in a pitiful condition and high milers that had obviously been much better looked after - I was lucky to find one that ticked both boxes.

Yep, it needs driving more (it's only time that stops me using it more) but who cares, it's worth every penny, even if the sun only shines for 48hrs a year!

Soon we won't be able to own cars like this.....chip fat powered mopeds...it's the future...
