It's our plan to do the CT RBRR in the Dolomite this year. It's great that it has the original seats fitted, but the backs are a bit low for "long term" use and for the passenger to sleep in.
Can anyone recommend the most comfy alternative seats I could fit?
I'm not really bothered about fitting something that matches/looks right as it's just a temporary job for the RBRR.

Cheers,
Sam

I have some half leather Rover 25 seats to go into my Sprint, these are very similar to MGF seats but don't tilt for rear seat access like the MG ones do. The runners are ALMOST the same as the Dolomite seats coming out.

I do have a full set of Rover 45 black leather for sale but the rear seat is the wrong one to easily fit a Dolly and the drivers seat has adjustment for height which might be tricky to make operational. £100 they cost me and that's what I want for them.

Other choices that work well are Alfa (156?) and Renault 19 (rare enough and even rarer in leather but very comfy if you can find them) I've even seen a Sprint with BMW Recaros fitted.
