As I said in the other thread...

Look at how well the "Safety Cell" has stood up to it though... You'd be a bit sore but would most likely walk out of most of those :y Better than most other cars of that era ;)

Someone died yesterday in the 50mph limit stretch of the M3 when they rolled their roofless car (looked like a Morgan-alike from the underside) up the embankment.

Worrying about 200kph is probably silly..

It's amazing how many accidents we used to attend on the M3 that were due to sleep. Also surprising how many were caused by medical issues

Yeah - no other vehicles are believed to be involved and police are appealing for witnesses (I only saw it upside down as I went past in the queue of obligatory rubberneckers on the opposite carriageway).

50mph, roadworks, no hard shoulder.. sleep, mechanical, medical - for whatever reason he ended up on the embankment and at that point I'm guessing it didn't take much to flip a very light high aspect car over :(

200kmph into a stationary object is only two cars doing 62mph colliding head on.

Exactly... A real world, legal (almost) possibility.
