Noble M12 GTO-3R have caught my eye - but I wonder about the bespoke luggage set. How many litres do it hold in total? And is there any pictures for me to check it out. (Checked out the Noble at Nick Whales but no luggage set).

Got luggage, Done nearly three weeks abroad, with a lady. I can tell you they can fill a container lorry to go on holiday.Conclusion. We took too much!. They are like the tardis.

"Lots" basically.

I'll dig out a photo if you are that interested, but suffice to say they easily carry 2 weeks worth of clothes etc, and look great when you hand them to the hotel porter to take them to your room

Photo - I'm that interested and capacity of 2 weeks worth of clothes looks really good!

Mark - photos below. Can concur that you can get a lot in. There are two of each bag. I've stuck my phone in each picture to act as a scale.

I know they hold a lot of luggage, and I may be in the minority, but I decided to do without the luggage set as it looks cheap and nasty to me - £50K+ car and some nylon zipper bags!

Didn't someone once say that they were looking into sourcing some designer-look luggage from the Far East?

Rob,

The porter at Farringford Hotel Isle of Wight seemed duly impressed with them

Perhaps you have more sophisticated tastes? Ostrich hide anyone

Well a nice set of Alcantara luggage wouldn't go amiss Justin - I think Ostrich is already used in the Stryker GT :-)

4 problems with the bespoke luggage
1) the floor and sill bags are retained by plastic clips. the floor clips last roughly 5 minutes before they break off. I have now attached the broken bits with cable ties which actually work well but look a bit naff
2) the big ( behind the seats) bags hold a lot but they only have a little hand grab at the top. they have to be carried like tesco bags and you therefore look a prat walking into a hotel carrying a couple of fully laden bags dragging along the ground
3) if you fill the passenger side large luggage your passenger will have to endure seriously reduced legroom, risk of DVT on a long trip?
4) dont even try to fill the big bags before they go in behind the seats, they wont squeese in. best get a load of asda bgs and stufff your socks etc into them,and then stuff them into the bags at the roadside. this of course can be embarrassing when you reach destination and sequence is reversed.

I did suggest to Noble they design a Noble GTO M Twailer, fits onto the rear towing eye, is colour coded and has big spoiler to keep it down. ( could even have a baby seat)

Nick, what's a "Twailer" - have you been watching Tweetie Pie cartoons LOL!!!

...for twailer - also add two spare wheels (for front & back), a jack and wheel-brace, 3m radio beacon (for poor radio reception!), RAC/AA bloke (or Lee Noble if available!) and filled ice bucket (for when the a/c packs up in the heat of summer!) - just kidding dudes!!!
