I'm not convinced that a 1200 coupe needs a rear bar. With extra leaf, reverse eye rear springs on these cars you just don't have a sideways movement problem. It could be something to do with the 45 degree shocks. I believe Andrew is still not running a rear bar and I doubt whether you'll ever get close to his HP. John Taylor has a race-dedicated 200 hp injected A15 coupe without a rear bar - if those two aren't running them then I want to meet the person who claims it is necessary. Perhaps with the standard rear leaves it may have been used in the 70's but there are better options now.
