The ones I've fitted over the years were Honda S2000, nice but expensive usually, RX8, look ok, not high quality though, fake leather, can be gotten cheap but not an easy fit, and mk7 Celica, again not that easy to mod
but they are nice seats, well made and can be gotten at reasonable prices. You can mod almost anything to fit if you are determined though, for sure there are a pile of other seats that would go in the Elan.

I think Ian May put Evora seats in his when he had it - part of the rationale being the lower/thinner base as he's 6'5" or so. To my eye they didn't suit the look of the car that well, but functionally they were spectacular.
