Plenty of cars don't have any meaningful rollover protection - I wouldn't look to put a cage on an E-type Jag if I had one...

Of course not unless you were racing it. But that’s not the point. They were cars designed without a roll bar / cage. The Haynes WAS designed with a rollbar so why not have it functional, otherwise it’s just weight that you don’t need.

A friend of mine was once a fireman and went to a 7 accident where the driver was killed - I won't put details - which had no roll bar, he will not go in one now without a full roll cage
