Press Release Automodello embarks on a Noble venture Exclusive agreement with Noble Automotive for replicas
Buffalo Grove, IL, April 15, 2015: Automodello, the highly regarded hand-built resin model manufacturer, has entered into an exclusive agreement with British sports car manufacturer Noble Automotive Limited. For the discerning automotive enthusiast, this is exciting news indeed.
Peter Boutwood, Managing Director for Noble Automotive explains: “For some time now, we at Noble Automotive have been receiving constant requests, by both owners of the cars and fans of the brand, for scale replicas. Previous research and investigation into the possibilities of producing a range of models however had not left us feeling entirely comfortable with the rapport of the proposed associations. So it is with considerable pleasure I can now announce, having entered into this new agreement with Automodello, that we have finally found a partner able to produce models we consider to reflect both the quality and attention to detail of our original product.”
The two companies will be working in close co-operation to ensure that customers will be offered the most accurate and excellent Noble scale replicas ever produced. Currently on the drawing board are the Noble M12, Noble M400 and Noble M600.
Succinctly pointing out why the announced partnership is a perfect fit, Jim Cowen, CEO of Automodello, comments: "Here we have two high-end, low-production run companies, both widely acknowledged for their outstanding levels of innovation and engineering precision, teaming up to make the great small!”
Jim adds: “We chose the M600 as the first car to produce because it represents the pinnacle of Noble’s expertise. It trounces the supercar establishment with a super light carbon-body mated to incredible power and handling that is raw, rare and, without the need for computer assistance.”

About Noble Automotive Limited
Noble Automotive Limited is based in Leicester, England and was founded in 1999. With a small but talented team, Noble has become one of the most respected and loved sports car manufacturers, not only by customers but fans, motoring enthusiasts and journalists alike, all around the world.
Noble is a low volume manufacturer that has earned itself a reputation for producing incredibly quick and fine handling cars. Leaving its originally “perceived” kit car image behind in the dust, in 2001 Noble launched the M12. The M12 immediately became a benchmark, with its incredibly pliant ride, reassuring and precise handling and impressive power delivery. Noble followed this up with the equally impressive M400 and, in late 2011/2012, the critically acclaimed M600 and M600 CarbonSport.
These incredible cars have propelled Noble into the highest echelons of the supercar fraternity and the marque is now firmly established as a force to be reckoned with.
