Kev, are you making one for yourself regardless of if anyone wants one or not or are you hoping to make a few quid?
If you're in any way leaning towards the latter rather than the former, I suggest you don't bother. You'll need something that will fit all major suppliers' scuttles and probably supply the windscreen (or at the very least specify an easily available option).
You see it all the time with fastback hardtops for MX-5s - everyone wants one until cost / importing comes into it (you can import them from Japan / USA at a cost of a few grand, Autokonexion's is almost $2000 just for the part). And that's for a production car.
Look at it this way, do Westfield / Caterham offer a hard top? If they could make it worthwhile then you can be sure they would have (Donkervoort have been in production with a hardtop on their D8 GT, so it's not a new concept).
