Trevor - agreed. Last one I drove was a Westfield Seight with a TVR 4.3 litre V8 in it. An interesting experience, if not "pure" 7.
My main issue is that my height and heft make it even more difficult to be comfortable in a 7 than in a Cobra. My current fake snake is one of the roomier ones on the UK market, I fit in it rather than on it, and life is good.
I can only echo every word you said on the subject of the Noble - the factory is not far from where I live, and I was very impressed with the thoroughness of the engineering, and the quality of the (S African) build. And frightened to death by a test run as a passenger.
