[Healeys] Tall Drivers; Was BJ8 driver seat repositioning

For all those prospective Healey owners who are taller than average, it's a
fact of life that the BN4, and BT7 roadsters are the ones that will allow
the seat travel to go further back than any other model without getting into
modifications. Their rear quarter trim panels sit in a position that will
not interfere with seat travel until much further back than other models.

The seat runners in all models will allow the seat to go back further than
the various trim panels and other obstructions in the car will actually
allow.

On the Hundred, it's the back of the seat back that will interfere with the
top assembly when in the stowed position.
 
On the BN6, BN7 two seater roadsters, it's the seat back interfering with
the rear quarter panels, stirrups and folded top assembly.

On the BJ7 and BJ8 Convertibles, it's the seat back interfering with the
rear quarter trim panels.

We have conveyed this fact to a number of long legged prospective Healey
buyers and it's been a point they took into consideration before they
bought.

I'm lucky, at 5 ft. 8 1/2" I can fit just fine in all of them!
