Is there any chance we can get advance notice (pre-motor show) on the possibilities for spec on the convertible...factory colours, interior, option packs, etc...I'd like a little warning rather than having to make my decision on the spot at the motor show?

...you'll be lucky - in my product launch experience they probably won't know until very late into the night before!!! :-)

would it be safe to assume that colours and interiors are likely to be the same as the current range, or does noble have a habit of bringing out something new and exciting with new variants?

I would imagine as it's a derivative of the coupe it should have all the same options...........although not sure Alcantara would be a smart choice without a roof in a british summer

Option i'm most keen to see if M400 bhp. Need something quicker now my GTO is seeming a bit "sluggish"

Must confess i can hradly wait to see this "clever" roof mechanism. Any hints Simon H ?

Stuh, I reckon the roof will be made of a new type of waterproof recycled teabags!!!

exterior colour has to be the most important issue...i'm sure everyone has a view on what looks best...for my mind:

dark colours (BRG/Blue/Black)= can't see the shape
light blue = female...don't mean to offend, I'm just not one!
red = ferrari...and non-metallic
yellow = too loud...and non-metallic
leaves only silver and titanium = common (if ever one could label a noble common)
is it time for a pearlescent white? (would look good with red leather for traditional british car combination)
or how about some factory standard "reflex" style paints, a la tvr...that show different colours and tones from different angles

How about Stainless Steel or Carbon Fibre?!

interesting..brushed or shiny..actually that bare shiny aluminium look could certainly brighten up the road...probably dazzle traffic too much in the sun, but not a bad idea.

Now carbon fibre...that would look very racey...hmmmm

Sorry, no pix or information about the GTC until Motor Show Press day. All will be revealed then.

Simon - is this 27th May ?
Maybe I misunderstood, I thought you said press pictures were to be released before the show ?

Simon, any chance you can post it here on press day. I'm coming up on the "preview day" - the 27th May, which I believe is one day after the press day...with credit card in hand to confirm my build order...would just like to see the colours and spec with enough notice to choose (and ok with wife/kids) so that I can get my order confirmed immediately....or should we just check the website on the 26th?

Just been informed I'm 12th on Mole Valley's list for receipt of the GTC and they make up 70% of Noble Sales...this gives me a March05 anticipated receipt date...anyone here getting one sooner?...no, on second thoughts I really don't want to know who these lucky people are.

Is that right that MV account for 70% of sales ? Does that reflect the demographics of the owners, I wonder ?
