Preparing to return my sword

[kentviking]

It is with the greatest regret that I have had to put my baby up for sale (not our latest child, but my "classic" GTO).

It has been 2 years of sheer driving bliss.

Please excuse me if I pop back as an alien interloper every now and then. The support of this forum has been phenomenal and needless to say quite often entertaining...I shall miss the cameraderie. Thank you all.

Note, however, that I shall follow Noble developments with interest, and given a few years depreciation on an M15, or a new M12 convertible....I'll be back

[AMG Merc]

Sorry to hear that Morten - you are one of us original Swordsmen! All the best

[V6GTO]

Don't be a stranger.

Martin.

here's to a spectacular comeback

[mr noble]

Doh! Another one gone! Hope to see you back soon Morten.

I only wish lee had some extra time to have developed the GTC..that was my original intended route into ownership and I only picked up the GTO as a time filler (heh...bet it doesn't get called that very often)

Anyway...the wife has lost patience in the thirst for open top motoring, so its gotta go...but I'll be back.....I WILL be back!

its sad to see people selling up - but i suppose if they didn't then i wouldn't have one either !!

Is there going to be a noble meet up at some stage, i'd love to meet some of the enthusists that own them in person

if my ownership goes like some of my other cars - I will never ever sell it and keep it forever !!

[worty]

Sory to hear that Morton. Hope your back soon. What will you be getting in the interim?

Looked at your car and really would like to buy it but thats pushing how much i can afford too far. I'm also pretty sure you wouldn't want to sell it for anywhere near as much as i'd want to pay for it.

You don't feel like putting an extra 30k on it and then selling it do you?

One at Oulton in Nov (see top of page) and maybe another britcar parade at Silverstone (sept)

believe me...I'd love too, but I've bluffed my way past the wife's requirements for 2 years and a fourth child...its time for me to face up to the reality of our situation and very very unfortunately the Noble's gotta go.

I think you'll find its one of the cheapest if not "the cheapest" Noble on the market...but give it another few years and they may come down even more towards early Tuscan price territory.

Better still...just take out a loan, buy it, and amortise your smile over the lifetime of ownership...you wont regret it!
