M12 at MotorCare, Tunbridge Wells - anyone know the history on this one - special paint - Merlin Pearl with full leather interior. Apparently HW Owen in St Albans had it before from the original owner - going to check it out...

Also, anyone heard any news on the sump mod yet -I'm going to need it as if I become a Noble owner as mine will be tracked?!

Oh, and another thing - when I tested an M12 recently I found that the gearchange was difficult 'cause I have long arms (the seat was pushed back) - is there a way to move the seat back further and then is the pedal box adjustble as it would need to come out more to compensate for the seat being back?

Thanks,
Rob.

Yes, if that's the car I think it is, I know the original owner. I'll point him at this thread...

Yes, see the owners list for news...

You should be able to get the seat back far enough for it to be touching the rear bulkhead (or nearly). I guess you're not going to be able to get it back any further than that!

You might find it easier to change gear if you adopt an elbow-on-the-handbrake posture and bend your arm at the wrist to get it into 2nd/4th/reverse...

Thanks Jim, "Owners List" - where's that?

Rob.
