Could anyone who has a stock Minor please measure the height of the driver's seat cushion to ground level. Thanks, Rich.

This may help : https://www.morrisminorforum.com/forum/morris-mino...

if not send me a message and ill measure the Moggy Van when I get home as that should be close enough. unfortunately my saloon is lowered and has different seats.

Thanks for the link. Interesting but I need the measurement to ground level outside the car. I have mobility issues and find it difficult to get out of cars with low seats.

Ok, I'll grab a tape measure and let you know this evening. its worth remembering that the front suspension is fairly vague in its ride height, as the torsion bars get older and people don't adjust them correctly. This could also work in your favour if you need a little change up or down. The later 2 door saloons also had adjustable (kinda) front seats.

Changing the seats is also fairly easy, I've got seats from an Alfa in the saloon on some simple frames that are fully adjustable.

Evening, measurements as follows:

Front of seat base



Rear of seat base



Just to give you an idea almost anything will go in, these are in the other car and from an Alfa, the pattern matches well with the rest of the trim



If you need anything else just shout

That's brilliant - just the right height! Those seats look nice too. Thanks once again.
