Things have changed a lot for Noble in the past 2 years. For a start things like the R8 exist and desirable marques like Aston Martin have introduced lower priced models. It is a much touher market for Noble than it was in its heyday and the move upmarket to bring its cars into the same market for punters who could also afford a Porsche GT3 or V8 Vantage is risky. Whether they used the F40 as a benchmark or not, this has to be an exceptional car, especially with the twin trubo Lotus Esprit due to start snapping at its heels from next year.
The departure of Lee Noble also doesn't stand the company in good stead, as he was a figurehead and his past was a big draw. I am worried when I say I don't fancy Noble's chances for the future.
Finally, Noble is NOT the "one true British automaker"! Boo to you for neglecting Bristol and Morgan, both of whom remain independent and in British hands with long and proud heritage.

Bremen_Koenigsegg - have you ever seen one apart from the blue prototype? Noble fell into financial woes and production was stopped from what I remember.

Considering I live in Canada, I've never seen one period. =P Also, I'm not omniscient, so I'm not about to assume that because I've only ever seen one reviewed that it must be the only one in existence. It just doesn't seem a responsible business practice to -not- produce a production ready vehicle because of financial troubles, eh? I'm gunna go Google it.
