Not a tonneau, but a canvas type thing with a frame, as is usual with Land Rover defenders.
Anyone know who sells them in the UK?
A hard top is too difficult to remove and store when not required.

I'm not aware of anyone that does what you want DN...Ifor Williams offer one of their very light unpainted farmers tops, maybe that would be easier for nipping off when needed.

Might be worth giving them a call to see if they would make you a frame, and then get Dawbarn or similar truck sheet maker to make you a one off truck quality tarpaulin to fit.

The Ifor canopies GB mentions are a doddle to remove but still bulky to store. They can be had with a "mesh gate" or an aluminium lift up door with a window. Elegant they are not. Scale of £450 new IIRC though they come up on the big auction - perhaps not too frequently for a Rodeo, assuming they can even be had for that vehicle.
If you want a Land Rover style canvas, you could presumably get any number of car trimmers to make you one. Probably wouldn't be cheap. On LRs they are supported by metal hoopsticks - some fittings would be needed for these.
Or get a Navara - is this the sort of thing that you have in mind?

If you can find a frame, a sail maker could make a canvas cover, alternatively you could buy one from a South African or Australian source.

...a sail maker...
Not so many of those left.
One I know in the North East successfully diversified into flags and banners.

Most likely place to find one is along the south coast, and Isle of Wight area.
Lots of people there who like standing in cold showers ripping up £50 notes.

Thanks guys.
Yes Manatee, that's exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for. I think they're american, but can't find a listing for Isuzu or Chevy Colorado with the right size bed. I'll give them a call tomorrow and see what they say.
