Re: rover 200 seats
The more upmarket models came with a height adjustable front drivers seat, I think that is more about raising small people into the roof though
Allegedly HHR front seats fit a R8, also the front seats from the 600. If you're much over 6' you probably want to lower the seat further?

Re: rover 200 seats
The height adjustable seats on a 25 are taller than normal ones, go figure.

Re: rover 200 seats
Rover 25 front seats will bolt straight in, and if you don't mind stripping the cover material off and modifying it to fit the old R8 frames, you could use Rover 25 rear seats.
Not sure about interchangeability from the later 400 and 45, but if you do a bit of searching on this forum, you may find an answer. Or buy a cheap 45 as a parts donor (see my reply to your other post)

Re: rover 200 seats
From what I've observed from my motley collection, the lowest standard fitment is achieved with the 'Recaro' range of half leather front seats.
I have a grey cloth set with lumbar adj & height adjustment via a a crank handle at the front of the seat; coupled with the later airbag equipped steering wheel and the fat seat squab, makes a noticeable difference to thigh steering wheel clearance.
Of course I've put on a few pounds over the years

Re: rover 200 seats
Early coupe seats were lower than the later ones and not height adjustable.
