20 years ago the GTO-3 made the M12 even better - it's seldom seemed more desirable since 😍
of all things lurking in the classifieds last month; there are more than 130 TVRs for sale on PH; and there’s every iteration of the M12, too, from GTO to M400.
This is a GTO-3, the 3.0-litre car that followed the 2.5 in 2002. The larger engine boosted power and torque noticeably, taking the M12 to beyond 350hp and elevating the Noble to another level of performance. It kept what one buying guide has called the ‘recalcitrant’ five-speed manual and open differential of the GTO but this car isn’t any old GTO-3 - it’s had an LSD fitted and a recent gearbox rebuild as well. So there ought to be no problems there.
The way it looks must still be part of the Noble appeal. Yes, the lights were from a Mondeo and the interior was sparse, but what was attention-grabbing and dramatic back in the day looks otherworldly now. Usually, the passage of time softens the impact of a car, but not for the Noble. This GTO-3 benefits further from just 27,000 miles of use since 2002, driven by just two owners in that time.
