The Jaguar E-Type is a true icon, known for its beauty and performance, but if you’re building your E-Type for historic motorsport or spirited driving, safety becomes just as important as style. A high-quality roll cage not only protects the driver and passenger but also adds rigidity to the chassis, improving handling and response. For owners of the E-Type S1 and S2, both coupe and convertible, our top recommendation is Safety Devices.
The E-Type’s long bonnet, rear-wheel drive layout, and agile nature make it a joy on the road and on track, but the original bodywork lacks modern safety structures. Adding a roll cage transforms the car’s potential, especially under heavy braking or hard cornering where extra chassis stiffness really pays off. It also gives peace of mind for those entering historic racing events or track days, where safety compliance is often required.
Safety Devices offers vehicle-specific roll cage options that are precision engineered for the Jaguar E-Type range. These roll cages are designed to match the original structure of the car with no guesswork involved, making them a reliable and effective upgrade whether you’re preparing for competition or simply adding peace of mind to your road car. Every cage is developed with care to complement the interior space and retain as much of the E-Type’s original character as possible, all while adding an essential layer of safety.
Why Choose Safety Devices Roll Cages for Your E-Type
Safety Devices has a long history of producing roll cages for classic and modern vehicles with motorsport in mind. Their cages are designed in-house and manufactured in the UK to strict safety standards. What makes them perfect for the Jaguar E-Type is their vehicle-specific approach. Each cage is shaped to follow the contours of the E-Type’s body, whether you own a fixed-head coupe or a convertible with a hardtop.
These cages are bolt-in designs, which means no major fabrication work is needed. Once fitted, they offer proper rollover protection and additional stiffness throughout the chassis. They’re a great choice for owners attending historic track events or touring in fast road conditions.

Safety Devices Full Cage Options for the E-Type Coupe
If you’re after maximum protection and rigidity, the full cage is the way to go. For the Jaguar E-Type S1 Coupe and S2 Coupe, Safety Devices offers full bolt-in roll cage systems that cover front and rear protection. These cages include front legs that run to the footwell, a main hoop behind the seats, a diagonal brace, and rear stays that extend into the boot area.
They’re ideal for track day drivers or competition cars where complete safety and structural support is a must. Despite being full-size, they’re designed to fit cleanly inside the E-Type’s cabin without compromising its classic shape or interfering with interior trim more than necessary.
The full cage setup significantly increases the rigidity of the E-Type’s already capable chassis. This translates to sharper steering response, improved weight distribution under load, and greater resistance to chassis flex under cornering forces. For anyone pushing the limits of grip on track, this level of support is crucial.
These cages are also compatible with harness bar integration and seat belt anchor points, offering further safety options for racing applications. Whether you’re installing FIA-approved harnesses or building a period-correct race car replica, the full cage delivers a professional-level base to work from.

If you don’t need the full front section or want to retain more cabin access, the rear cage options offer a solid middle ground. Both the S1 Coupe and S2 Coupe can be fitted with a bolt-in rear cage that includes the main hoop and rear diagonal bracing.
This option retains much of the original interior space while still offering real rollover protection and improved stiffness. It’s perfect for owners who want added safety and support without committing to a full competition-style build.
Rear cages are especially popular with road-focused restorations and fast tourers where owners want better peace of mind without fully altering the character of the cabin. The cages integrate well with period-style interiors and can still support modern safety upgrades like four-point harnesses if required.
They also weigh less than full cages, helping to retain the E-Type’s lightweight appeal while still improving torsional stiffness. For casual track days, touring events, or spirited road use, rear cages hit the sweet spot between performance and usability.
Rear Cage Options for E-Type Convertibles with Hardtops
Convertible models naturally have less structural integrity, so adding a rear cage makes a big difference. For both the S1 Convertible with Hard Top and the S2 Convertible with Hard Top, Safety Devices offers bolt-in rear cages designed to tuck in under the roofline.
These cages add roll-over safety without drastically changing the driving position or comfort. They’re shaped specifically for the convertible chassis and are a great solution for those who want extra protection but still use their E-Type for road driving and touring.
The rear cage reinforces the open-top chassis and helps protect occupants in the event of a roll. This is especially important in vintage cars where modern crash safety standards weren’t yet developed. Despite the added protection, these cages are designed to preserve visibility and access so that driving enjoyment is never compromised.
With clean lines and a snug fit beneath the hardtop, these cages provide an elegant safety upgrade that blends into the car’s original character. Whether it’s a show build or a long-distance rally car, the added support is something every E-Type convertible owner should consider.

Professional Installation and Safety Advice
Roll cages play a critical role in protecting the driver, so the installation process needs to be done with care and experience. We always recommend that customers use a professional fitter when installing any Safety Devices cage. A trained installer will know how to position the cage correctly, torque the fixings to the right levels, and ensure that all mounting plates sit firmly against the shell. This avoids stress points, misalignment, or gaps that could affect the strength of the structure in an accident.
Some cages require welding as part of the installation. In those cases, the work must be completed by a qualified welding professional who understands motorsport safety standards. Proper weld penetration and clean bead formation are essential for the cage to perform as intended, and professional welding ensures that the cage meets the requirements needed for competition scrutineering. A correctly installed cage not only improves safety but also enhances the rigidity benefits that these designs are known for, giving you confidence that the car is ready for serious use on track or stage.
Classic Safety with a Proper Fit
For anyone looking to add strength and safety to their Jaguar E-Type, these three roll cage configurations from Safety Devices offer the perfect blend of protection, fitment, and ease of installation. Whether you’re restoring a road car, prepping for classic rallies, or building a full track machine, there’s a cage to match your needs.
Each one is made to fit your specific E-Type model with minimal hassle. And as with all Safety Devices products, you can count on proper engineering, a clean fit, and long-term reliability. At GSM Performance, we’re here to help guide you to the right cage setup for your project and make sure your Jaguar is ready for whatever lies ahead.
Harness Belts That Pair Perfectly With Jaguar Roll Cage
A roll cage does more than strengthen the chassis or improve rollover protection. It also gives you the correct mounting layout for a proper motorsport harness. Racing harnesses are designed to sit at a specific angle behind the driver, and that angle can only be achieved when the shoulder straps loop around a harness bar. Both the Safety Devices full roll cages and selected rear cage options can be ordered with a harness bar, making them an ideal foundation for fitting a professional-level harness.
Using the harness bar keeps the shoulder straps level with the harness slots in your bucket seat and aligned with the driver’s shoulders. This avoids the common issue of mounting harnesses straight down to the floor, which can create unsafe load angles. With the right roll cage and harness combination, the belts sit properly across the body, distribute forces as intended, and offer the level of security required for fast road and competition driving.
We have a strong selection of best-selling harness belts that pair perfectly with Safety Devices cages. Once you have the correct cage for your car, choosing one of our recommended harnesses completes the setup and gives you a refined, safe, and competition-ready seating position. Let us know if you need help choosing the right harness for your seats, cage type, and driving plans.
