Stif probably your closest but not sure what they have.
.
Jungle (Santa Cruz importers) are in Harrogate so maybe given them a call. They are a really good bunch of guys.
.
Tested a Carbon Nomad at Glentress last Saturday and it was very nice.
.
EDIT: North West MTB in Cheadle look like they have a large Nomad.
Stif and Jungle are basically one in the same, they're in Summerbridge just North of Harrogate.
Give them a call and they'll sort you out, oh and they have all a number of models in various colours on the wall which might help you decide what colour you want.
There's some decent rides not far from their shop as well.
If your LBS is a Santa Cruz dealer then if he is a decent dealer he will get Jungle to send a demo bike to the shop for your to test ride. If LBS isn't really interested in doing that for you then I would not be spending my money there.
Leisure Lakes @Nottingham got me a demo SC butcher for a day (I ended up with it for 3 days) they charged me £50 but they took it off the frame price when I ordered it. Great Service as well as I bought the frame on 0%....you can't go wrong!
Try bikescene in guisborough, I know that they've got a carbon one on their test fleet, not sure what size it is though.
Yeah, get one from Stif. I did that to try a Bullit, cost £40 to test for the weekend, but got it back when I bought one.
