The noble has a mondeo engine, thats what jezza said last time he drove it.

Also notice the punto headlights on the MG SV?

Was jezza's 0-60 time for it slightly exaggerated? Didnt he say something like 3.7? Surely thats way too quick!

missed it, was it on at 7

Noble has mondeo engine, earlier ones were 2.5 v6 twin turbo's and newer ones are 3.0 v6 tt's

And yeah they do 60 in 3.6/3.7

Fav car for the money even tho it is 'all mondeo' meant to handle amazing etc

So what was on tg then was it a special show or something
