Car Stories: Project 911 - From Golfs to Ultima GTR's, Combustible Noble's and Porsche Ownership

Project 911 is a story of one man's car history, culminating in the purchase of a 996 911 Turbo.
James 'Bart' Bartholomew has been around motors since a young age, but his car history is certainly more varied than most. He's had everything from Golfs to RX8s, Vans to Ultima GTRs.
He's well known in his area for being a proud Noble M12 GTO owner until it was unfortunately lost to a fire. After that episode, Bart vowed to avoid composite cars and has found a new love for all things Porsche.

Thank you for not killing the sheep. Nice car!

I was lucky enough to get taken out for a test drive in a Noble M12 GTO from Dick Lovett Bristol when I was about 15 and I will never forget it. If you had the space in the garage its one to buy and keep for life.

I was lucky enough to go out with Bart once or twice and do agree, phenomenal vehicle.

100%, that’s my plan. Can’t think of anything especially for the money that I’d rather be in. People laugh at me when I say this but I think it’s valid, it’s the British F40 ..

Loved watching your excellent video James, I have owned an RX/8 and now own a Golf GTI MK7.5, not done the Noble or Porsche though! ;-)

[@johhnyboyo7211]
