Obviously not for "road use", can you imagine the insurance loading when an 18 year old lists that as a modification !

Is the 75 really a track car though?

Would not have thought so, my 45 corners so much better than my 75.

Perhaps that’s why there are no real track parts available for 75 varients but for 25 and 45 types.

Not a right lot of help above...

Would it need to meet fia standards? If so someone like safety devices will be happily build you one. I do t think there are any stock cages about because they aren't a very popular track car.

It won't be cheap though. For an fia cage you'll be looking in the region of £1200 to £1600 depending on whether you want a basic cage or a rally spec cage plus fitting if you can't do it yourself.

If it doesn't need to meet any standards (for track days and non racing events) there are places that can build and fit one for about £1200. I don't know of any around you though.

Edit, custom cages will make you one as well. Best thing is search google because ther will be a lot of smaller places that can make you one

I used a Safety Devices cage before and found it to be top quality and easy to install. It wasn't in a Rover 75, mind you, and the interior was bare.
