Damon Hill's Noble M12?

[eisenjj]

I am aware that Damon Hill purchased a Noble M12 GTO 2.5l for his P1 International Company as feature in the magazine "Octane", and that it had a titanium exterior with grey/black alcantara and blue belts for the interior. However, on the Noble M12 GTO 3R that he purchased for his personal use I have only been able to find out what the exterior color is which is black. Does anyone know what colors were picked for the interior? If anyone has any pictures please include them as well...Thanks very much!

Any help would be appreciated mustard!

The new 3R we delivered was for P1, not Damon Hill, as far as I'm aware. This 3R was the Titanium car and the old 2.5 GTO (which I think they still use, too) was black and is still used on their fleet.

Micknall, I am certain that the 2.5 GTO of Damon Hill's P1 International was and is titanium with grey/black alcantara and blue belts. See this link www.gto3.com/press/NobleInfo/Octane%20May%202003%20-%20Page%204.jpg . However, I heard that the 3R he ordered had a black exterior and I heard nothing about the interior colors. You may me right about the 3R being purchased for P1 rather than his personal use, as they do list a 3R on the P1 website. If you can please find out what interior colors were ordered/fitted to this car(3R) and please include the belt colors as well. Thanks again!

2.5 was Black with Red/black alcantara

Mustard, see above/previous link!

if you are so sure why are you asking

[eisenjj]

Marki, My question lies in what the 3R is. I am pretty sure what the 2.5 GTO was as was featured in Octane Magazine Issue 1.

[Marki]

are you stalking Damon

[eisenjj]

Marki, you are too funny! If I were to stalk someone I at least would pick someone on the same side of the pond as myself. NO, really I just thought that he may have chosen a good color combination for the black exterior. I don't want plain all black and I certainly do not want red/black as I think it looks tacky! Thanks for your concern though!

That article has used a stock factory photograph for the "outside of car" shot - it's been in many magazines.

From Noble's own website

Exactly the same photo. Don't believe everything you read / see in magazines.

2nd car into the country IIRC .... I drove that one sadly the roads were damp and the implications of p1ssing it were too great

[eisenjj]

joust, what have you to say about this picture: www.gto3.com/press/NobleInfo/Octane%20May%202003%20-%20Page%201.jpg . It shows Mr. Hill standing between the Lambo and the Noble which is obviously titanium and a 2.5 GTO as I stated. I am sorry that I did not include this picture earlier!

[joust]

???? Yes - that's the same car as above...

Ever heard of "press cars".

:confused you can't see it:

[eisenjj]

it is not I that is confused! I suppose that the lambo is a press car as well as well as the Ferrari as well as the P1 International garage? I have a good one...I suppose that is a cardboard rendition of Damon Hill as well! JUST A BIT O' FUN MATE...NO OFFENSE!

No mate - we all know that DH is made of fibreglass so let's all giggle at him

You are correct! Cardboard at his age would look like sh**! Not that he is that old, but you know how durable cardboard is!

[Marki]

your confused

[goodlife]

Ahhh.... Damon's P1 Noble.

'Tis the reason one now has a 3R in the garage.
