Saw this today. Guy just traded a vintage Mercedes for it.he has the build sheet and previous registration and it was built for Jeremy Renner the actor. He is his assistant apparently... V8, sounds amazing and runs like a top.

There's no roll bar, besides your head. That windshield will collapse quick.

Reinforcing the window will not help much. Have you ever seen pictures of a 914 rollover? The windshield always collapses to the height of the rear targa bar. Even then most racing sanctioning bodies still require a roll bar in a 914. I have seen roll bars in BBR cars and it is butt ugly.
