I think the Nobel is one of the best looking cars out there IMO. I'm probably blinded by the fact its fast as fcuk and handles so well
THe new TVR looks weird though with all those slashes in the metal, just looks weird? Top effort for modding the nobel too, it must be even more mental now

my dad test drove the Noble loved it but just said it was pointless as a road car, way too fast for the roads, but an awesome track day car.

Looks alright, but i hate the fact that "chavs" have to cosmetically mod supercars tuning them i agree with, more performance is all good , but adding weight by sticking some kenwood ICE in it, with some leather seats, metal gear knob is just ghhheeeeyyyy  It just looks as if he bought the car for the wrong reasons, like loo's old man said, there far off road practical cars - there a track day car!
But still, would rather have a tuscan over them, as there far more practical  although there are alot faster (tiger kit car for example) than a noble

hahah that would be TVR that use Gaffa tape during the curing process of the laminates??? and then leave the gaffa tape attached - yeah skillfully made cars arnt they
TVR as a company have been bought out by a very rich russian fella, and there are strict quality control checks at every process of building their cars.
They may have a poor name for reliability due to past crappy hand built sheds.... but mark my words... TVR's are gonna become a whole different league of car

aand they still use Gaffa tape to hold their panels together..................They near enough line any GRP/FRP panels with Gaffa tape to make them hold their shape whilst curing - its a piss poor method

Who cares, like you say yourself its only while the panels cure. It isnt like thats the only thing holding them together . Its all about getting cars built quicker and cheaper. If they were to keep the panels off the car while they cured it'd take much longer to make the car, and would also cost more as youd need space to put all these parts.
Personally i could put up with a bit of useless tape if it mean i'd get my car quicker form the factory and cheaper .
