It will be released at the motorshow.

The M12 is actually a rebodied M10 which was a convertible originally.

Ashley,
What colour?

[Micknall]

Because the M12 coupe has such an inherently stiff structure in the first place, we've only had to do a moderate amount of strengthening to the GTC's chassis. Consequently, the car's handling will not be adversely affected.

I'm afraid all information - including pix - on the GTC is strictly embargoed until May 25th. All will be revealed at the NEC on that day. Unfortunately, because I'll be at the Show for its duration, our website will not be updated until I return. Other than coming to the NEC yourself from the 27th onwards, you should see the GTC in assorted press, soon after the show begins.

I guess the Noble stand will be impenetrable as usual. Any prospect of issuing tickets or passes to existing owners inside the ropes? (pleeese)

[kentviking]

I second that.

and a quickie for Simon...
on the piccies and spec front, is there no chance you could set up an email, on time delay for release on the launch day, to one of us in the forum, who could then post it on that day.

hope I'm not teaching you to suck eggs, but if you are on microsoft outlook you merely have to select view, options in the email and select "do not deliver before" choosing the time and date of delivery

thanks, Morten

What about the GTC press release from Noble, with pricing and options ? Can that be posted here on 25th ?

[joust]

I'd imagine PetrolTed will be doing his normal updates from the show.

P.S. Simon - is that the GTC mule we can see in the "20 questions" in Autocar today?????

[kentviking]

certainly looked like the GTC (wasn't an M10 and didn't possess a roof)...and if you peer closely enough looks like the lights will be enclosed under perspex a la GTO 3 - seemed to be some fit lines for it at any rate.

and....it was white...the new colour?????

Joust,

Nice try, mate! But surely the fact that Lee looks somewhat younger indicates that it is, in fact, a very early M10 in the pic...

Oh b*****xs.

I've been telling everyone today that "err - that's my new car"

Bug**er.

[Still - I got some photos of the TS500 fully trimmed today - so at least me saying "that's my new car" was factually correct for that one!]
