I have driven the pre-production M15, and the mule used to develop the M15.

No customer cars have been delivered as yet, and no announcements have been made regarding the final specification of the car.
Although there are plenty of rumors !

Ta J, sounds like it will be worth the wait, tho' the price will be scary no doubt.. intersting to see that M400's are holding steady c50k.. an original 2.5 is outstanding value at the moment in the mid 20's, sold mine in the spring and have gone elsewhere and gone for a different driving experience for the time being, but will return in the future..
Here's looking foward to the proper launch!

Although the M15 is the car being 'touted' at the moment, I don't think it'll be the only thing coming out of Noble in the next 12 months.

Hopefully something will tempt you back !

Saw your pics. looked like there was quite a gap on the front hood. Was that just because it wasn't closed all the way? what'd Lee have to say about your comments? (exterior/start button)

The hood wasn't closed all the way. I had been poking around in it shortly before hand and had not closed it properly.

The feedback from Lee was positive. He just wanted to know what I thought.

Two more reviews here

Mine
www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.

Scott's
www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.

If you notice the length of time between then and now, it's fair to say the final thing is going to be somewhat changed from what we all drove.

I think 'loads' is a relative term. Much better than an M12 but probably not as much as a 360 or 430.

Looked like a bit more than a 360.

There's qite a bit of room behind the seats on the 360 as well, which the M15 I saw didn't have. I'd agree that the main boot on the M15 seemed slightly bigger than the 360's.

Indeed - although if you are lanky like me there isn't much room with the seat back far enough in the 360.

Similar to the Elise really in that respect.
