P4 Noble Replica

Absolutely gorgeous.

I'm probably being an idiot... but does the 'Noble' replica have anything to do with Lee Noble of M12/M400 fame?

 

Would be fun to fit a 400i V12 with a manual box and chop it to look like the spyder version

 

I'm guessing it must be a gud 'un. The high bidder is Paul Skett (P4replica) and if there is anyone who knows his Noble P4's its him.

I can;t say I know the car but the reserve is way too high if it's above £19k, fwiw it looks like he's got some chums bidding although I'm assuming P4 replica is Paul Skett who runs the register and owns one, unless perhaps he fancies two!, if you want know more about it I'd call Neil or Matthew at NF developments who make them now, I'm sure they'll know the car inside out

yes Lee Noble did the original P4 replicas, Neil Foreman bought the business a few years ago (I think there was a Mr Butler that owned it in between)

Foreman's own 'canam style' runs a 400i engine, pic of it at http://www.nfauto.co.uk/p4cangwd.htm

 

thinking about it the price may not be silly, it's had some substantial work inc correcting the tail hinges (normally the replicas hinge from the rear)

 

Car on the nf website at £38k. too much...

 

I wonder if that was sonebody just trying to find out the reserve? £5k jumps?

 

Might be but those folks often immediately withdraw the bid and watch as they now know where the reserve is. Will make mine seem like extremely good value when I put it up for sale !

 

Cheers Mark

 

The reserve was actually dropped to £25k on the last day but no takers. The other bidder was testing to find the reserve price.
