Anyone do 10,000 miles a year in their M12 GTO-3R?

[duplicity]

Hi, I am seriously considering a Noble and would be keen to speak to any other drivers/owners who cover around 10,000 miles a year.

I have taken a M12 GTO-3R for two test drives now and know if I do buy one will never want to leave it in the garage! So, will end up doing quite a few miles.

So, those high mileage Noble drivers, what problems have you had?

I look forward to the responses........

I've covered 20k miles in 23 months

A few teething problems with the original ECU and overheating, but both problems resolved with a new map and uprated cooling (now standard fit)

Hi, join the club, I'm about to do the exact same thing, so fingers crossed!!!

So which one, and what colour??

3R in anything but titanium... far too common! haha - :runsandhidesinsomethingflimsy:

Seriously, my favorites are Indigo Blue and Azure Blue -obviously! Red also looks great and as a leftfield choice I think the dark green (Goodwood?) looks luurvely. Who owned that one at last years Owner's day???

I think MV had a demonstrator in that colour. There is also one for sale in the PH classifieds.

Oh...you mean Titanium like the one I have just bought then. Hey easier to keep clean!!

So when are you going to order it then???

I use mine most days. Commuting, visiting friends, thrashing through the lanes, etc. Now done almost 7,000 miles in 7 months.

Few minor niggles - none of which have taken away from the pleasure of running the car - all of which have been sorted beyond expectation by the dealer and factory.

If you can live with the 15-20 mpg (depending on how right foot is feeling), then the other costs are actually not as much as you might expect for a car with this performance. Main 6k service was only around £500.

To be honest I dont think they make in a bad colour, so unless you have a massive abberation of taste and order your 'special' colour... I think you are safe!

As for any coloured Noble being common.... hmmm

17000 miles in 17 months.

Apart from early problems the last 4000+ have been without any issues, despite the best efforts of a certain ex. Autocar test driver to spank its bum on the track
