The Mosler having been banned in 2009 from British GT, has been allowed back in for 2010.

An article in the Sunday Mail on Noble:
.... The famously gruff, sweary Lee Noble might have left school at 16 but he is one of the most talented engineers the sports car world has seen. Almost uniquely, he can design every aspect of the car that bear his name himself, from the suspension to the styling. He cut his teeth as a racing driver before designing some well received but very low volume sports cars. In 1998, he founded his own firm, and in 2000 he unleashed the M12, a £50,000 sports car that sent discerning drivers into a flat spin with pace and handling that shamed Ferraris at twice the price .... " Lee is now working on a new car The Fenix (Phoenix) that should be available late 2010.
The Noble M15 (Prototype).
Morgan announce that all 100 Aeromaxs are sold. However a new Aero SuperSports (Targa) has been announced for 2010.
The Stig and Top Gear tested the M15 prototype for the M600, and their verdict was “.....it's just brilliant !” (Quicker around the track than the Ferrari 430 !
The developement car was at the Goodwood Festival, and took part in the Supercar run up the hill.

EVO had a group test of thirteen sportscars, and the M400 came out top for 'road and track'..." Quite simply the M400 blew not only us away, but as it turns out the competition too."
In a recent Telegraph Motoring supplement David Edwards was selected in the "Choose a Car " section. He wanted something "Fun, fast and impractical". The Telegraph recommended the Nissan 350Z, Mercedes SLK 55AMG, Porsche Boxster, and the Noble M12. The "Top Choice" was though the Noble M12 as a "little known, brilliant, British-built, mid engined supercar...with superlative handling, and prodigious performance"
Recently two Mole Valley customers took a class win at the Nurburgring 24 hour race (see Customer News)
The M400 appeared on Top Gear, and apparently it did a time of 1.22.2 seconds around their test track, which compares rather favourably to such expensive exotica as the Pagani Zonda that recorded 1.23.8 seconds !
MORGAN had record years in 2004/2005/2006 and 2007, with over 600 cars being built and delivered. 2008 was as good a year for them (640 cars built), leading upto their centenary in 2009 which built on their previous year's success. For 2010 and 2011 the factory plan on slightly increasing production to try and reduce waiting times.
Mole Valley acquired the famous "TVR 100" plate (to go with their existing "100 TVR" plate). This is the plate that adorned the TVR factory press cars for so many years, and was owned by TVR. Our "100 TVR" plate was seen on the factory Chameleon Green Tamora press car, whilst "TVR 100" was on numerous factory cars - the yellow Cerbera, the yellow Tamora, even the Speed 12, and the yellow T350 Targa that was driven by Tiff Needell on Fifth Gear.
In CAR magasine Martin Brundle drove the M400. "It turns in like a racing car, you balance it on the throttle....". The M400 was quicker around Angelsey than the Gallardo, the Ford GT40, and the Aston Martin DB9.
In the Saturday Daily Telegraph, Tony Dron tested the M400 "fabulous handling, stunning performance......". In another article on the same page about the new Ferrari 430 at £111,000, it listed alternatives as " Lamborghini Murcielago at £168,000, and the M400 at £55,950 !"
Lee Noble had a win at Silverstone, in his developement Noble M12. Congratulations to him and his team."After a frustrating run of second places, Lee Noble stormed to victory at last weekend's Yokohama Mid-Engine Sports Car Series. Lee gained pole by 1.5 seconds, and fastest lap...after 16 years out of motorsport, Lee's win showed that he was back on the pace". Plus another win two weeks later, and another at Snetterton.
The Sunday Mail gave the M14 the accolade of "its my car of the Show", and Autocar's front page - "Noble M14 - undisputed Star of Birmingham", that has now evolved into the M15/M600.
EVO, in a roadtest against the Ferrari 360 Stradale (£133,025) said "The M400 can draw up into the 360's wake thanks to it's superior stability....has an equally positive but more progressive turn-in....when it comes to confident committed cornering the Noble has Modena's finest covered."
