That's a prototype, Richard. If you look closely at the door apertures, you can see why..!
I'm in the process of commissioning a mould, but the variables are many for commercial viability and i've got some good brains on the issue. Think carbon fibre rather than glass..

Will you need to include a Gurney (or should it be “Stringer”) Bubble to accommodate yourself, without risk of cracking your head?

Well done Steve grasping the nettle, this hardtop desire from quite a few on here has rumbled around for a long time now. Good luck with the project  . It looks like a TOK car with this on already at this stage.

Budster will like that view Kev, as it's got LOUVRES...  Yes, the hardtop saga rumbles on. I know of someone who has an aluminium top, but that really was bespoke. Now if you could polish that up, it would look like a warbird in Arizona.. Hmm..

I have an 3 rows of louvres on my rear panel and as a Yorkshire man I can reveal that it is to give my whippets and pigeons plenty of air whilst on the move !!!
