Interesting comments in the ST today about the Invicta:

Mentions that "8 people have toiled for two years to produce a bespoke sports car - an English alternative to the 911" - IMHO they needn't have bothered as the Barwell tea-boy beat them to it (and for £50-odd grand and not £74,000)!

A possible dig at Noble (and others?) - "unlike some British sports car companies this tiny factory is not just an assembly facility : it's the real thing" - so what, I dont care in M12's come on ships in big tins from South Africa, it is Noble who warranties the final item!

One good thing about the Invicta though, the body is 100% carbon fibre and it sounds like it will get the Ford 6-speeder.

Rant over - back to dossing on this dark and rainy Sunday afternoon!

Not a useful comparison between the two cars though as the Invicta is a GT and the Noble a stripped out sports car.
