Description

The 3.0-litre Ford-derived twin-turbo V6 in standard GTO-3R specification produces 352bhp - but this car was built out to run at 500BHP, pushing the power-to-weight ratio into supercar-destroying territory. It is, in every sense, a car that demands your full attention. From 2011 to 2024, this car was the personal vehicle of Martin Cheetham - the renowned race engineer behind Martin Cheetham Race and Supercar Specialists. It wasn't sitting in a collection. It was owned, used, and understood by someone who knew exactly what it was. That kind of custodianship matters. Current Ownership & Maintenance In just over two years of current ownership, the car has been on 3 no-expense-spared trips to Dave at DTB Motorsport at Mallory Park - one of a tiny handful of genuine Noble specialists in the country, and the only place a serious owner would take one of these. Most recent major service and health check: 8th April 2026, including a new battery and hard-wired trickle charger installed. Gearbox and clutch fully rebuilt: March 2025. Upgrades & Modifications Built to 500BHP (inc uprated turbos and stage 3) Uprated fuel pump Pro Alloy radiator Bigger sump Tunnel cooling mod Upgraded gearbox Adjustable suspension (can run very low if required) M400 side vents fitted Expert chassis tuning and alignment Comes with a set of original wheels (no tyres) and 2 x sets of spare wheel centre caps (extremely rare) Known Faults (in the spirit of full transparency) Small crack in the headlight glass - causes minor fogging in damp conditions Front bolsters showing age-appropriate wear - this is a 21-year-old track weapon, not a showroom ornament Small knock on the driver's door - see photos Documentation Book pack with thousands of pounds worth of receipts Original Noble Sports Car brochure Original owner's handbook 1 x PS2 Noble Racing computer game - Also very rare Low annual mileage across its life. Never abused, always maintained. Private Plate Not included in the sale price, but open to discussion if the right buyer wants the complete package. Any questions please ask The M12 GTO-3R was never made in large numbers - A 500BHP example with this ownership history, this level of specialist care, and this depth of documentation is not something you come across twice. Serious enquiries only.
