It would be hard to find one that isn't "well looked after", you don't buy a car like this and abuse it...

That's just not true. It's probably true of most of the cars on here, but I've seen some at various repair shops that are caned almost all the time.

Phil,
I meant that Joe Public isn't going to spend his hard earned cash (I'll explain that concept to you laterwink) on a Noble then trash it. If he inadvertantly puts his pride and joy in the hands of a butcher (and we all know this has happened) that's a) not his fault and b) fixable (at a cost).

Ah right, gotcha. Still saying that I have seen one that by all reports was basically abused. It's probably long dead by now.

Now, about this hard earned cash thing? Doesn't sound nice to me. Don't bother explaining I'm sure it's not for me! hehe

Considering Noble route myself but have yet to look at any particular model. Question is will one be comfortable to drive at 6' 2"? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm 6'4" and fit fine. I have an extended boss fitted to bring the steering wheel a bit closer to me and the seat on the middle adjustment for tilt.The only slight discomfort you may find is the slightly offset pedals, the longer your legs the more you have to angle them.Later cars had a bit more room in the footwell which helps.
