Original Rover clutch plates fitted at the factory did not have springs in the first couple of years - plates with springs were introduced later during the production run to deal with some judder issues on early cars.
I am not sure a high clutch pedal is really a problem - many folks on here think that is good, as it suggests a healthy hydraulics system - a low pedal is more of a concern and suggests air in the system.
I am sure the resident clutch experts on here will be along shortly to comment.
