[QUOTE="User121314, post: 1153087, member: 16824"] Fun Fact (if memory serves me correctly). The M400 used to be built for Noble by Hi-Tech Automotive down in PE & then shipped overseas for drive train installation. In the late 1990's or early 2000's a friend of mine & Hi_Tech went 50/50 on bringing in a McLaren F1 - the idea being to copy the front suspension for the next iteration of the Noble. Back then, if you brought the car into SA & shipped it back out within 12 months there was no duty payable. Peter is a real petrol head & fell in love with the vehicle, so purchased the 50% he didn't own, paid the duties & kept the vehicle. When he emigrated to the USA he took it with, and when he returned back to SA a few years later he brought it back with him! AFAIK he still owns it to this day. I think Hi-Tech sold the tooling to the US Noble importers in the late 2000's, and it is now built in Florida, but is called the Rossioun (sp?) or something like that. [/QUOTE]
