    I've been reading up on this car and I must admit I'm tempted to buy what seems like a fantastic drivers car comparable to the F40 ( as per the reviews ) . Before I pull the trigger, Can anyone shed some light or experience on this car and what they think ? Thank you !

    Hi

    The only experience I have is with an M400. I don't know how applicable my comments would be to an M600.

    I liked the car and it is a great drive. The build quality was good, but it still had a lot of "kit car" aspects to it. It was a hard car to work on. The engine compartment was PACKED. A big frustration was heat management. There was so much heat generated in the engine compartment that it would melt the wiring harnesses. The space was so limited that there was no where to move the wiring, so I spent a lot of time insulating everything, working in very restricted space.

    The engine is Ford, but it is European Ford. I was able to get almost nothing locally. Some of the part numbers that I provided did not even show up in the North American computer system.

    This was not my car. It was a customer's car. I spent a lot of time with it....;>) I will say again that I liked the car and it was a great drive, but I would not buy one.

    Rossion is based on the Noble M400, so v6 Ford-engined. I had a M400. Oil starvation, spun a rod bearing on the track. Needed dry sump. Fantastic handling but...

    I believe M600 has the longitudinal mount Volvo v8(?). Much better level of refinement etc. Different beast.

    Any Noble looks like a kit car, IMO.

    The latest one, M600, is a lot of money for a car that has absolutely no street cred...
