Hi guys
Test drove a Noble couple of weekends ago and my wife couldn't reach the pedals safely (she is 5ft exactly).

Does anyone have experience of moving the front seat forward a few inches?

Otherwise she will have to do with a support cushion.

Let me know
Cheers
Kenny

There is a cheaper solution - don't let her drive it! laugh

You could try strapping blocks to her shoes ala short house syle in Indiana jones hehe but I suspect you will have to get the drill out and make some extra holes in the seat frame.

A Noble dealer will be able to take the seat out and move the runners forward.

Yep can be moved forward by about 4inches; quite surprising how much additional volume for storage you get as well!

Did you decide not to return my call then? wink

Just thinking about Ecurie25 for a year and its pro's and cons. P1 looks to be much better value atm!
