Introduced at the 2004 Birmingham Motor Show.
Country of origin: UK

Having entered the specialist sports car market over the last five years, Noble Automotive is now launching an all-new model, which will firmly establish it at the upper end of the supercar market.

Head of design, Lee Noble, said of the M14: "We aim to catch an entirely new audience with this model, one that cares as much about the grade of leather used in the cabin as how fast the car will accelerate to 100mph. We also anticipate that M14 buyers will demand 'jump-in-and-drive' convenience, without any sacrifice in exclusivity or sophistication. I'm satisfied that these criteria have been achieved without any compromise."
