I was going to suggest the NOBLE website itself for figures or actech's because it has the press articles on it. But neither site has those particular figures, so you'll have to rely on an owner measuring up.

5 inches from ground to side sill front and rear with full tank of fuel and driver on my car. Still goes over the speed bumps OK but care needed when e.g going into dips from garage forecourt to road.

Thanks Noblegirl but I am looking for precise measurements of the front and rear ride height.

Any owners willing to take those ?

Thanks,

Happy to oblige but you need to give details of exactly which measurements you want me to take. the M12 is sitting in the garage now so can do if you help with details.

Luky you !! Mine is still 2 months away...

Thanks you very much for proposing your help. You need to measure the distance from the ground to the car's underfloor between the two front wheels (in line with the contact between the ground and the tyre). And do the same measurement for the rear wheels.

Good luck.

Rear is 5.25 inches. Front is 4.875 inches. You owe me a beer as I has to crawl under the car in the garage on the wet floor. I do hope you are not taking the £"*%!! Hope the measurement help.

In metric....

110mm at the front, 135mm (based on what you would hit) at the rear.

See www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=27698 for some pictures about what it will get over.
