I am looking for a height adjustable drivers seat from either of these for Pops, my Dynamic.
Any leads would be very much appreciated!
Cheers, Doug.

Have you tried a height adjustable seat fitted to the Eleganza?
I have one on my 04 Panda, and, its...........................rubbish!!!!
What were they thinking?..........when that was signed off????
Just my opinion.

Mine's fine as well 
Unless you mean where it's only the back of the seat that is adjustable, and not where your legs go?

My 100HP height adjustable seat is frequently used by students and they seem happy enough. Yes, you lose the lap bolster depth, but that's also common to other cars that I've had.

In answer to FF, yes I have tried one, and yes it does what I want it to.
At the moment I use a tailbone wedge cushion which has a similar effect but is not ideal.
Still looking if anyone can help - Fiat want in excess of £500 just for the bits, so no chance of me going that route!

Well having a seat that goes up and down in the manner that my late MAREA had, and the same type that is fitted to my IDEA....................is , in my opinion, a proper seat 'riser'.
I just think that the Panda version just doesn't cut it.
Has POPS tried one ?
Ian
PS not wishing to start a flame here.

I'm still not following. So how is your Marea seat different then
I would guess that the whole base rises, than than the back of the seat cushion?
I'm still confused. It's the base of the seat that adjusts anyway isn't it
That's how our Panda Eleganza and my Stilo do it.

on the panda it only the rear of the base that moves not the hole base

Oh right. I never noticed that.
Just the back edge dropping actually makes it worse for my missus and her short legs. A standard seat with a slightly squidged cushion worked fine for us both though.
Is the 500 base the same? might help Pops find one quicker. I know Lewey had some 500 seats in his 100hp but he wanted the 500 tops.
Theres a point, you might find a 100hp being broken more easily than an eleganza and they had height adjustable seats.

Thanks for all the replies; unfortunately the 100hp has sports type seats which although height adjustable are not made for those of us who have an ample posterior (or big bum)! So still looking.
I can see the height adjustable lever on this one

I like the vendor's advert:
