Lee Noble - Supercar Genius

NEW

This book tells the story of Lee Noble, a car designer from Leicestershire who began restoring cars with his father and went on to create the Noble M12, a sports car that challenged the industry.

Noble became a well-known name in the British sports car world, alongside brands like Lotus, TVR, and Morgan. But who is the man behind the marque? This biography explores his journey - from club racing to designing and manufacturing kit cars, and eventually founding his own company. His career has seen both great success and significant challenges, as specialist car manufacturing is a difficult business requiring skill and determination.

Despite setbacks, every car designed by Noble has been highly capable, from the Ultima to the M12 and M15. This book details the development of each model and examines the events that led to his departure from the company he founded. It also includes a guide for owners on buying, maintaining, and servicing Noble cars, along with technical specifications and diagrams.

Key features:
- Biography of an influential car designer
- The development history of Noble's key models
- Insights into his rise and struggles in the automotive world
- Buying and maintenance guide for Noble cars
- Technical details and specifications included
