Does any no someone killed in an XK?
I am curious as to the safety of these XK's , especially in a roll over. Do any of you have any stories you can share.
I have had TR'6's for years, and the first thing I did was install rollbars.
I'm just thinking here...Not trying to bum anyone out...

Get A Coupe...
(Sorry Drop Top Friends...)
If your worried about rolling over...buy a coupe. Better looking. Less chassis twist. More unique. Safer (if your rolling over) and you do not have the prospect of the "green shower".
I am sure I will open up the proverbial Pandora's box by my comments....

Hell any car HT or not could roll. Life is not safe. You got a better shot of getting hit head on, t-boned, or rearended before you ever roll it.

This is just one of those things about a convertible that you have to live with. Everything has inherent risk, it's just a matter of whether or not the pleasure you get out of an activity is worth the risk to you. Skiing is dangerous, yet people still do it. Riding a motorcycle is many times more dangerous the riding in a convertible, yet people still do it. Discussions like this always scare me because I fear some do-gooder is going to try to outlaw convertibles. Most states already have mandatory helmet laws for motorcyclists, how long until someone decides that people in convertibles have to wear helmets, too?

That being said logic never stopped the lawmakers.

Better looking? Until the vert drops it's top. Then it's far more beautiful than a coupe.
Safer? Well, technically I'd agree with you, but most of the examples of people wrecking their cars on this forum are driving coupes, fwiw.
