With news of Lee Noble's new company, we look at his previous performance cars

With the news of Lee Noble's new venture, Fenix Automotive, we thought we'd have a look through his past performance cars under the Noble name. Noble Automotive was founded by Lee in 1998, and launched its M10 roadster a year later. However, the real accolades and attention were saved for the M12 coupe. There were several derivatives of the model – the GTO, GTO-3R and M400 being highlights – and it helped contribute to sales of around 1500 Nobles sold under Lee, most in the UK but some in the US, Russia and even New Zealand. The ill-fated M15 concept was Lee’s last car at Noble before leaving and now, in 2009, taking charge at Fenix. Keep a keen eye on evo.co.uk for the latest news on his sub-£75K supercar.
