I don't know about that - however the fibreglass monocoque would make it very difficult to fit any form of rollcage for more formal motor sports.
Even a towing eye is a bit of a challenge, although it has been done.
Today I noticed that my car has a rear towing eye attached to the differential.

You also have red paint on the diff cover....worth checking for an 'S' suffix on the diff number as the next step...
Thanks but I already know it has a limited slip diff fitted.

Not been on for a while, so only just seen your post about the rear towing eye. Neat idea.
Looks like your car has also been upgraded to poly bushes at the rear, along with Spax adjustable shocks.
Pretty much what I'd expect, given Wayne's attention to performance but it's nice to know that it's all quality kit.
Nice blog, too, I'll have a look at some more of it.
I'm not sure with your Salisbury axle, but on a normal Dolomite it's a white plastic mushroom with a black cap that screws into the diff case, as you say.
