I'm guessing Vernon Kay (being the only celebrity Noble owner I know (obviously after RobP, then Inflict )?

AFAIR it is he.

Yep...that's Vernon's car.

Martin.

Clearly angling for a seat at Brands GP on Thursday

What is Vernon Kay actually famous for ? Apart from being famous that is ?

Owning a Noble!

[V6GTO]

A few of us met him at the Ace Cafe one morning. I didn't know him from Adam () but thought he was a nice bloke.

Martin.

Agreed - seemed like a pretty normal down to earth guy. Like Martin, I hadn't a clue who he was. When he left someone said - "that was Vernon Kay" and I've got to admit to thinking - "Who's he then?"

[NickyTwoHats]

Yeah! Met him and his Dad at the Motor Show (on the Noble stand) Nice guy ... still don't have the tickets he promised though :-(

Didn't a snooker player write one off a few years back?

Mark Williams had one, but it was a bit too much for him. Lost it on a wet day in Wales.

Saw what was left of it behind the workshop at Williams in Bristol. Took a front corner off as I recall.

Hey hey!

Seems like a good deal, too bad I can't afford to upgrade (actually i'm not sure i would if i could... but we all know that debate).. I quite fancy some m400 black wheels though... thinking of going all black... anyone want to swap? =)

However, my new album is out today... go buy it!

hahaha, buy buy!

Is the noble in wrecked exotics the same one as for sale in classifieds? anyone know anything? as i asked the seller about the damage to the portafino blue gt03 and was told it was front clam, rear clam and fr shock. He also said it was done by the first owner at approx 3k miles.

[MadMacMcMad]

Gaz and anyone else,
Correct me if I am wrong, but the wrecked car above has no '3'emblem on the front panel behind the nearside wheel. I believe therefore that this is a 2.5 GTO, not a 3Ltr GTO3. Without seeing other pictures or having other info regarding the wreck, it is impossible to say who's car or which model it was previously and to make the connection based on colour is surely going to damage the chances of a sale of the one in classifieds.

[MadMacMcMad]

I have just looked at the wreckedexotica website and the car shown is a 2.5 and therefore NOT the one in classified

[gaz 7404]

Thanks for reply i didnt know about the little badge and i certainly dont want to spoil the chances of a sale just thought it would be fair to find out,after all it clearly states in the classified it was cat D so no major supprises there was just a chance to see what was actually damaged in the accident.The car does look very well now.
