100S 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. After a flipover accident in qualifying for the Goodwood Festival of Speed he took a different view as he realised that the car might slow down, spin and then hit something and roll. So we developed these roll over bars to cater for just about all the variants that owners could imagine. Made from the finest quality material and welded where required with variants with sections that can be removable.
