Hmm. It looks like my acquaintance with the prancing horse may well be a short one!
Of course we all know how long Noble could take to launch this car.
Perhaps I should look at the new Ferrari California as an intermediate between the F430 and the Noble I believe it's got a launch date of 2009 hehe

No, but at least there's a 250 pixel photo of what will be the prototype of the prototype rolleyes

The ar5s looks nicer though...more rounded.

One thing about Noble conversations is that they are never dull.

The car looks great and i think personally from that angle, the rear end is much better now. I love the shape of the roofline, i think thats what gives it a similar look to our cars.

I assume this isn't the new shape and is just an M14 body (because that's certainly what it is) which they had lying around which has been bolted to the running gear for general testing.

So the news is that there really is no news.

The main announcement I want to hear from Noble is "Simon Hucknell is to replace Peter Boutwood with immediate effect" No disrespect to PB, it's just that we know how Simon works...Oh to get back to those halcyon days when customers mattered cloud9

Martin, give PB a chance at being MD, IMO he will make a far better MD than LN ever was or could be,but I do agree that Simon Hucknull was an asset to Noble Cars and still could be,I think that given the opportunity they would make a formidable team to be reconed with.

As supicious as noblecarfreek and dan12 could these latter two be the same person?both of these informative subscribers registered on this forum a few days after LN & CN left the company a bit of a coincdence do you think.

I don't think Noble are after or care about repeat sales.

That certainly appears to be true. And as for that " interview" if thats a true reflection of what was said then frankly it comes across as simply insulting peoples intelligence.A completely pointless exercise IMHO.

Can't remember why I think this, but I was under the impression he left Bentley?
