Low performance vehicles don't need battery clamps to be functional.
I've driven more than one vehicle that had no provision for any sort of
battery clamping. Of course they're a hazard in a crash, that's
primarily why cars now have the clamps.

"Now"? My first car (1964) was a 1953 Ford Prefect. I'm pretty sure that
its battery was secured (was it in a box compartment?) - and I'm
definitely sure that all my subsequent cars had clamps or similar ways
of securing the battery. It's unthinkable that they wouldn't.
