Noble M12 GTO

The first of the cars to hold the Noble name of its creator Lee Noble.,the M12 GTO was produced in 1999 and represents the first sportscar built in Leicestershire (well the bodies were produced in South Africa).
The one below showed up at a recent car meet and to be fair wasn’t getting the attention it deserved, despite it being 14 years old it still looked fresh and how you expect a fast road/track car to look. It’s even got a huge rear wing.

Ascari Ecosse


Would you like a pre Noble Noble???? Then this rare beast is for you. Built by British manufaturer Ascari Cars between 1998-99. In all only 17 of this V8 BMW mid-engined car were produced. Designed by Lee Noble (who would go on to open his own supercar building company Noble in 1999) and based on the company’s previous car the FGT, this has all the hall marks of a great car. Over its short life the car was produced with both the 4.4ltr and 4.7ltr power plants with the latter having 400bhp on tap.
