have you deliberately left the side intrusion bar of the o/s.

looks a bit strange only on the passenger side..

Maybe he wants to get in and out elegantly and wants to laugh at his passengers

if you get one, think about climbing in and out, I had one that I might have kept if it hadn't been made for a 4ft midget!

But getting in and out involed dropping from above - defo want the "two semi circles meeting in the middle overhead" type if you know what I mean

The one on my Aries chassis looks good and is very easy to get in and out of:



The rear hoop is quite tall but the front slopes forwards infront of the scuttle which makes it look a bit more sleek

It only has a side intrusion bar on the drivers side, passengers should keep their arms inside the car!

Seen a few of the "Tiger Caged" cages and they look good. Want to track day it at some point so want to be safe. Here's one from a tiger last Sunday at Newark.

That is me and my caged Avon in the background. It's the cage from Tiger made by Caged. Makes me feel much safer when driving, especially as my head poked out the top of the standard rollbar. No problems getting in or out.

Was fairly easy to fit apart from making extra bracket to fit the chassis rails at the front as in typical Tiger style the brackets on the cage don't line ip with the rails

The yellow one belongs to John...jdominicd on here and is on a S6.
It is a Tiger rollbar and cage that bolts on with a bit of pulling and pushing.

In my defence...Stoneleigh was freezing and I had a few layers on under my jacket!

Im looking for a cage to fit over the winter/SORN'd period.

Caged is a lot of money plus, i need to trailer the car there and back.

I like the look of the cage on the Yellow Tiger but not the vertical bars at the front.
