Can the seats in my 98 Chim be adjusted in the vertical direction to give more height for a short driver?

Washers and long bolts spring to mind. But why would you want a driving position like an MG?

From another short arse and having a series twwo Chim with huge rear bulged bonnet. I want this done. I drive several 2 seat sports cats and the TVRs are just too low for good placing of the car - ok if noncing about but not if going for it. + the rack in the base seat is way to inclined fron to rear for my liking so I asked Tower view to sort this. Fix was a 15mm small machines alloy block with a hole in the middle just put under the back two bolts - bingo - better rack and slight higher and much better for placing car. Designed for 6'7" PW.....not < 5'72 shorties!

Darren - my 5' other half tried the 500 at 4 in morning - got up to try it on a deserted motorway, did not wind seat pedal out all the way - but she could just depress all pedals and found clutch to heavy - and I was trying not to show I was crapping myself!

She decided it was best to stick with her old polo!

Another small "other half" here. Bobski has decided to put me on the TVR insurance. Very exciting for me and at a guess, less so for him!

I am apparently going on a driving instruction thing to give me some practice (probably just as well). So if you see a sacred-looking TVR passenger in Ealing...give Robbie a wave.

Now to sort out reaching the pedals....
