ROLLOVER BARS

In 2008/9 we built the Healey Endurance record breaking car that took 6 International records and 11 UK records achieving speeds in excess of 153 mph.
During the construction phase there was a lot of performance and safety
considerations, one of which was whether to install a roll over bar.

The original 1954 car did not have one, so authenticity was one consideration. The other was what happened if it all goes wrong - at that speed Jeremy Welch reasoned that "it probably would all be over and very messy" - so it wouldn’t help much.
