As you are removing a major piece of safety equipment I think the question is more what will the insurance company say.

I believe you can remove it & pass the MOT if you say your car is modified for competion use ie for Rally use. However you will need a cage for this to be plausible. I'm sure a modified policy will cover this as Rally cars are insured for road use.
