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.

I have written a post about the towing eyes on my blog: https://latham.weblin.co.uk/Latham/2025 ... wing-eyes/

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.
