According to www.motorexpo.co.uk the exhibitors are going to be announced very soon.

It would be a shame if Noble didn't go. My brother works in Canary Wharf and the Noble is one of those cars that really catches the financial bod's eyes. So many 360s etc down there that the Noble is a nice change

Noble! If you're not planning on going... change your mind and GO!

???? Not many 360's there last time I looked...

Although it has to be said that the CWMS was where I finally decided to buy a Noble....

The exhibitors, it seems, have been announced and Noble is not amongst them...they are yet to announce the "Showstars" so there is still hope for a noble presence, but not looking likely at the moment...come on factory - surely there's time for a late entry...come on down to the sunny south for a bit!

Sorry - not this year! We're already booked for a sizable plot at the NEC and also Mhttp://www. in November. Motor shows are v.expensive to attend, so we aim only for the highest profile events.

Don't wish to be picky, but isn't an event at Canary Wharf just about the highest profile you can get for the audience of potential buyers ...I thought it was quite cheap to sign-up to aswell, though no doubt you'll put me right on that point.

how about some bespoke planting of the new Nobles in the square mile...pay for a few parking bays for the day, 1 for the Noble and 1 on either side to give the car some space and to position some barriers and security guards...and then hand out leaflets for a competition to win a track day ride/drive....cheap marketing...but you'll have to do it soon, most b..w.. bankers have just received their bonuses.

...no need to send me any commission for this piece of marketing genius...just bump me higher up the list for the build of my GTC

not above me, though !!!

sounds like a good idea, except i wonder, for those of us who don't work in the city, whether we want the Noble image to replace the Red Porker and braces !!!

thought you were down for a GTO3?...if you want to swap that'll be to the back of the queue please ...take your point on porkers...but we'll never see as many nobles on the road as mondeos...and a good thing too.

I average about 3 360 spots a day in central London, ive seen 2 Nobles since Xmas....

My brother and his CW friends all say that the Noble's rarity means a lot to them. They're bonkers rich but often having a rare car means more than having the most expensive.

The motorshow is a bit wank though because:

a) Its ooop North.
b) It has lots of crap cars.

Canary Wharf is perfect because :

a) Only nice cars generally. (i.e. sports cars, not new vauxhall repmobiles)
b) I work there

I'll have my nice new Indigo blue 3R by then. I'm sure a few of us could rumble down there and make a nuisance of ourselves :-)

BTW any idea of how I'm going to get any sleep over the next 2 weeks waiting for the car?

I think the motorexpo is a key event for the simple fact its surrounded by Tens of Thousands of suitable buyers.

I would bet that the vast majority pop out at some point during the 2 weeks or however long its on for and have a gander.

I'd similarly bet that a lot smaller percentage of these people actually go to the motorshow.

go on Noble, get a few cars over there

To be honest it was a dealer that brought the red 3r last time. I'm sure they'll bring a car this time too. Be nice if it was the convertable model though
