Interested in a Noble but not sure if I fit!!

[Roger Forty]

Hi Im interested in possibly buying a Noble M12 but as they are few and far between Ive found it difficult to find one locally that I can just sit in and try for size (Im 6' 3"). If you have a Noble and wouldnt mind showing me around it then I would be very greatful. I live in Warwick area and could travel to you. Thanks for reading this and hopefully I will meet one of you soon. All the best Roger

At risk of it sounding like a lonely hearts advert, I'm 6'3ish mainly in the legs and have owned a 3R and an M400. A change of steering wheel and an extended boss works wonders in giving some more knee room, and raising the front of the seat to give a bit more thigh support all help.

Great thanks for info...better start looking in that case

What model/budget ? Late 3R's and the M400 have a bit more space and less offset pedals etc

[Roger Forty]

Budget is up to 30,000 so would have to be 2.5 or early 3R. I guess that these cars may be more restrictive in terms of leg room.

6'2" around 16 stone! I don't even have the seat all the way back! 2003 3r, hope this helps? By the way there's a load of noble owners going to silverstone on the 8th September- not a million miles from you- might be worth getting to if you're seriously interested? John

6ft 4" here, no problem for leg room once I move the steering wheel with a steering boss so its slightly closer to me. This allows you to change into 6th without your knee fowling against the steering wheel and gear stick. HTH

Thanks to everyone for some very valuable info. Mod to steering appears to be the answer if things get a little tight. Will try to make Silverstone on 8 September.

I think there's easily enough room in the Noble. I'm about your height and have no problems and the seat still has a couple of clicks to go before it's all the way back. It's quite a roomy car. The only issue would be in an accident, not sure how a head would fair against the roll cage.
