I'm in the market for a half hood, or bikini top if you use american muscle car lingo, to fit a 93 Caterham HPC Evo. The distance from the top of the wind shield to the top of the roolbar is 850 mm. Thanks!

Good luck. I've been looking for one to fit my '93 HPC Evo for a year now. Even in the UK most are too short for the upright roll bar. My car is about 36.5 inches which means 925 to 930mm from the front of the windscreen to the back side of the roll bar.

Second that in soft bits. While my car is new bike 420 sv. And the size is more “standard”.  I think they are pretty adept at customizing.

If you want to undertake a project, this is fairly easy to make. I sewed mine using Sunbrella fabric, plastic convertible top clear plastic, the appropriate straps and adjustable plastic buckles, and maybe something I’ve forgotten. I recall buying everything from Amazon. For what it’s worth, I also made a new hood/convertible top, storage bags, side screens with more visibility using Lexan, boot cover, tonneau that attaches to the front of the boot cover using Velcro and snaps, and storage bags for everything. The whole project, of course, took a bit of time and fiddling with to fit, and wasn’t all done in one evening. One advantage to the Sunbrella fabric in addition to its durability, is its light weight which means it’s a lot easier to store things when I’m not using them as they don’t take up much space in the boot. Both the tops fit in a roll that snaps to the roll bar back braces and rests on top of the boot. While I was at it, I also made storage bags for the side curtains on myBugeye Sprite. The side screens now have about the top 2/3 clear Lexan, and then a piano hinge attached to a black plastic material for the lower part. This allows me to have ventilation, and also they can be folded, put in the storage bag, and easily placed in the boot. These are all on a 1966 Lotus 7 I restored a couple years ago.
