Noble Insurance
Tailored insurance for Britain’s most distinctive supercars
When you own a Noble, you’re driving one of Britain’s purest and uncompromising supercars. At Chris Knott Insurance, we understand that these hand-built performance machines represent the pinnacle of lightweight engineering and driver-focused design, and we’re here to source the tailored cover your Noble deserves.
Whether you own a track-bred M600, the iconic M400, the versatile M500, or any other model from Leicester’s finest manufacturer, our experienced team has the knowledge and tailored insurer relationships to secure protection for your precision-engineered supercar.
What makes insuring a Noble so specialised?
Noble represents one of Britain’s most focused supercar manufacturers, producing vehicles that prioritise pure driving experience over luxury amenities. Founded by Lee Noble in 1999, the Leicester-based company has built a reputation for creating some of the most engaging and capable track-focused road cars available.
With production numbers deliberately kept low to maintain exclusivity and quality, Noble vehicles are hand-built using advanced composite materials and carefully selected components. This boutique approach to manufacturing means that standard motor insurance often struggles to understand the true value and tailored requirements of these remarkable machines.
The engineering philosophy behind every Noble centres on lightweight construction, exceptional handling dynamics, and raw performance. Models like the M600 feature carbon fibre monocoques and sophisticated suspension systems that require tailored knowledge when it comes to repair and maintenance. This complexity, combined with the relatively small production numbers, makes tailored cover essential for proper protection.
Which Noble models can we insure?
Our tailored arrangements cover the complete range of Noble vehicles, from the early M10 and M12 models through to the latest M500 and the flagship M600. Whether you own a classic early Noble or the newest model, we have the expertise to arrange appropriate cover.
Current Production Models
- Noble M500 – The latest addition to the Noble family combines accessible performance with the brand’s trademark handling precision. This mid-engine supercar represents Noble’s commitment to pure driving dynamics.
- Noble M600 – The flagship M600 remains one of the world’s most uncompromising supercars, featuring a 650bhp twin-turbo V8 and carbon fibre monocoque construction that demands tailored cover.
Classic Noble Models
For owners of earlier Noble models, including the M10, M12 GTO, M400, and M15, we understand these vehicles often appreciate and require agreed value cover that reflects their significance in British supercar history.
The M12 GTO and M400, in particular, have become highly sought-after among enthusiasts who appreciate their raw, unfiltered driving experience and increasing rarity in the marketplace.
What factors influence your Noble vehicle insurance premium?
Understanding the elements that affect your insurance costs helps you make informed decisions about cover and risk management. Several factors impact the cost of insuring a Noble:
- Model and Performance Level – Higher-performance models like the M600 typically command higher premiums than the more accessible M500
- Driver Experience – Experience with high-performance vehicles and clean driving records significantly influences premium calculations
- Storage and Security – Secure garage storage with additional security measures can help reduce premiums
- Annual Mileage – Lower mileage policies often result in reduced premiums, particularly suitable for weekend and track day use
- Intended Usage – Track day participation may require additional cover, but can often be accommodated
- Modifications – Any performance or aesthetic modifications must be declared and can affect both value and risk assessment
Track Day Considerations
Many Noble owners participate in track days to fully experience their vehicle’s capabilities. Unlike standard insurers who typically exclude track use, we can arrange cover that extends to approved circuit driving, recognising that track use is an integral part of Noble ownership for many enthusiasts.
Seasonal Usage Patterns
Noble ownership often follows seasonal patterns, with many owners storing their vehicles during the winter months. Our insurer’s policies can be structured to reflect this usage pattern, potentially offering cost savings during periods when your Noble is not in regular use.
What coverage options are available for your Noble?
Our Noble policies can be tailored to include cover options designed specifically for high-performance British supercars.
Core Cover Elements
- Comprehensive Physical Damage – Protection against collision, theft, vandalism, and other perils. Given Noble’s tailored construction methods and component costs, comprehensive cover is essential for proper protection.
- Third Party Liability – Enhanced liability limits appropriate for high-performance vehicle ownership, protecting you against claims from other parties while recognising the performance potential of your Noble.
- Agreed Value Protection – Policies that reflect your Noble’s true market value rather than depreciated book values, particularly important for appreciating models and limited production variants.
Optional Enhancements
- Track Day Cover – Extended protection for circuit use at approved venues, allowing you to explore your Noble’s performance potential with confidence.
- Spare Parts and Components – Cover for expensive spare parts and performance components, recognising that Noble parts can be tailored items with longer lead times.
- Breakdown and Recovery – Tailored recovery services that understand the low ground clearance and specific requirements of Noble vehicles.
