Absolute rubbish

Yes if you are trialing a ragtop then you need a roll cage, but to use it on the road you do not need one.

A roll cage is not required by law AFAIK but you will need a way of mounting seatbelts. Something like ebay number 140312010794 would be ideal.

Look out for a military roll bar, they have seat belt hangers and go under the hood.

i would personally go for a roll bar, as even the standard hard top isnt particulary strong in a "major whoopsy" ... would you rather sit in a tent or a climbing frame with 2 ton of metal on top of you?!?
