Experts from the driving show have scoured the internet for the best deals, as Brits flock to dealerships to pick up convertibles this summer.
Each price is based on a real-life example of each car that is currently on sale right now.
Lotus Elan SE Turbo
The Lotus Elan SE Turbo is a sporty, two-seater first produced in 1989.
A second generation of the car hit the road in the mid-1990s and became known for its incredible handling.
This incredible car is on sale for just £6,950 on Ebay and comes in a gorgeous red colour.
With a manual roof that can be easily retracted, it's perfect for the summer.

Porsche Boxster S (986)
The Porsche Boxster S is one of the most iconic cars to be produced by the German manufacturer.
Fitted with a glamorous black shell, heated seats and 18 inch alloys, the car is both stylish and sturdy.
On sale for £9,999, it is one of the pricier motors on the list but it is also one of the chicest.
13
Alfa Romeo Spider (916)
For decades, the Spider was one of Alfa Romeo's flagship cars.
Made famous by the 1967 film The Graduate, the Spider has a place in Hollywood history.
The model is a two-seater vehicle, which has been described as both 'reliable and stylish'.
It's on the market for £7,500 meaning you can take the fancy car home without breaking the bank.
13
Mercedes-Benz SL500 (R129)
The Mercedes-Benz SL500 can hit 62mph in just 6.5 seconds and can reach top speeds of 155mph.
It is propelled by a 5-0 litre V8 engine and comes fitted with luxurious leather seats.
The motor, which is on sale for £9,995, also has climate control - meaning you can enjoy it in the winter and in the summer.
13
Honda S2000
Described by Top Gear as 'punchy, rev-happy and incredibly reliable', the Honda S2000 is a very powerful motor.
It is also one of the cheaper vehicles on the list, coming in at just £6000 - making it almost £3000 less than the most expensive car on Top Gear's list.
Some models have been fitted with customised parts, including a bigger 2.4 litre K24 unit - which boosts the car's power - and revised drop links.
BMW 318i
The BMW 318i is a convertible designed more for cruising than racing.
The vehicle has a 1.8L and is quintessentially 1990s, with its iconic shape.
It's also one of the rarer cars on the road, with only 50 being produced in a luxurious green.
Jaguar XJS
The Jaguar XJS has a massive 5,300 ccm engine meaning the convertible is one of the biggest on the list.
Fitted with cushioned seats and sophisticated wood finishes, it's a car designed for tarvelling in style.
Coming in at £9,995, it is one of the more expensive motors but it makes up for its cost through the huge amount of leg room in the front seats.
13
Mazda MX-5 (NA)
The Mazda MX-5 was designed according to its manufacturer's Jinba Ittai philosophy - the belief that a car should be an extension of its driver.
Lightweight, fast and stylish, the MX-5 is one of the most beloved cars on the road.
It costs just £8,250 to pick up this piece of motor history when buying secondhand but MX-5s are known to sell quickly so you'll have to hurry before another car lover snaps it up.
13
TVR Chimaera
The TVR Chimaera is as loud as the mythical beast from which it gets its name.
However, it's actually an incredibly gentle ride with a 4.0 litre Rover V8 engine.
The motor was produced from 1992 and 2003 and has remained legendary ever since.
It costs £8,995 to pick up a second-hand Chimaera.
The Chevrolet Corvette
This incredible car might look like something from a science-fiction movie, but the 1980s Chevrolet Corvette is a certified classic.
Its 5.7 litre engine packs a huge punch and has a detachable roof for when the weather heats up.
This motor actually costs £12,250 to buy second-hand but sellers have been known to drop the price for the right offer.

Why Stellantis' New European Design Chief Matters for Future Cars
A new creative mind for Europe Gilles Vidal, the former vice president of design at Renault Group, was named by Stellantis on Friday as the company's new head of design for its European brands, effective October 1. He replaces Jean-Pierre Ploué, who is departing the firm. Vidal will be in charge of the creative design approach for Stellantis' well-known European brands, which range from light commercial vehicles to city automobiles. Jean-Pierre Ploué — Source: Stellantis 'Gilles will build on the outstanding work carried out by Jean-Pierre Ploué, whom I salute for contributing to the revival and development of many of our brands and products,' said Ralph Gilles, Stellantis Chief Design Officer, to whom Vidal will report. Other executives offered equally effusive opinions about Vidal. Dodge Brand President and Chief Executive Officer Ralph Gilles — Source: Joe Wilssens 'His deep understanding of European automotive culture and his forward-thinking design philosophy will be essential as we continue to redefine mobility and strengthen the identity of our European brands,' said Jean-Philippe Imparato, Europe Chief Operating Officer at Stellantis. The hiring of Vidal coincides with a pivotal moment for Stellantis, which is attempting to rebound under new CEO Antonio Filosa. In its key markets, including Europe, demand remains sluggish, and Chinese competitors, led by BYD, are gaining ground. This week's unexpected first-half net deficit of €2.3 billion ($2.7 billion) highlights the difficulty Stellantis faces. Jean-Philippe Imparato — Source: Stellantis A triumphant return For Vidal, the appointment is a homecoming. Joining Groupe PSA in 1996, he played a key role in creating some of the most celebrated car designs. Between 2015 and 2019, he oversaw the design of many Peugeot models, including the Peugeot 308, 3008, and 208, which were all named European Cars of the Year. After 25 years designing vehicles for Citroën and Peugeot, Vidal left PSA in 2020, joining Renault to guide its design as well as that of Renault's electric-vehicle brand, Ampere. There, his designs for the Renault Scenic and Renault 5 also garnered European Cars of the Year awards. He also oversaw the design of Renault's electric-vehicle brand, Ampere. In fact, half of Vidal's 10 career awards have been European Car of the Year. Vidal will work closely with Gilles, who will report to Imparato. 'I am enthusiastic to return to my roots. In a world where technology and design should walk hand in hand to transform customer experience, I am excited about the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead,' Gilles Vidal said. 'I look forward to tackling them by working closely with Jean-Philippe, Ralph, and their teams.' Source: Renault Rebuilding Stellantis' bench Vidal's appointment should help strengthen the beleaguered automaker following Carlos Tavares' resignation as Stellantis CEO on December 1, 2024. His departure brought about the resignation of some of his loyal lieutenants as well, including Stellantis' Chief Software Officer Yves Bonnefont, Peugeot CEO Linda Jackson, and CFO Richard Palmer. As a result, refilling Stellantis' executive ranks is crucial. The ability of Stellantis' new CEO, Antonio Filosa, to attract top talent is important. In America, Filosa, formerly CEO of Stellantis North America, brought back Tim Kuniskis as Ram CEO following a six-month retirement before quickly promoting him to oversee all of Stellantis NV's American brands, marketing, and retail strategies. Vidal's departure from Renault weakens a company that has seen its top ranks empty out, as Renault CEO Luca de Meo, Chief Financial Officer Thierry Pieton, and Executive Vice President of Engineering Gilles Le Borgne have all recently left the company. Tim Kuniskis has been named Head of American Brands, Marketing, and Retail Strategy, while continuing to serve as CEO of Ram. — Source: Renault Final thoughts Stellantis's Filosa knows the challenges the company faces in Europe and is willing to attract the needed talent to revive the company's continental brands. As the company faces rising sales of Chinese vehicles, U.S. import tariffs, and an ever-quickening pace of EV adoption in Europe through government regulation, the hiring of Vidal is a crucial and cunning move. Source: Stellantis 'We are thrilled to welcome Gilles back to this key role. His deep understanding of European automotive culture and his forward-thinking design philosophy will be essential as we continue to redefine mobility and strengthen the identity of our European brands,' Imparato said.

Drivers heading on car camping holidays warned to avoid sleeping in this common roadside spot
Holidaymakers heading off on driving trips and car camping adventures this summer have been warned to avoid sleeping in a common roadside spot. Darren Hoyle, a rural warden, patrols lay-bys and beauty spots across Northumberland and the Lake District. During his four years keeping the area safe, he has identified one particular stop that could be dangerous for drivers to sleep. 'A lot of people think they're being clever by pulling into a quiet wooded lay-by,' Darren said. 'But those are the exact spots we deal with when break-ins, illegal dumping, or even wildlife problems occur.' The warden added that although the roadside spot 'might look peaceful' he insisted they are 'far from safe'. Rules regarding car camping and overnight parking vary across areas, with national parks and nature reserves protected by local bylaws. Aside from any dangers, sleeping in a car overnight in the wrong area could lead to fines or being moved on by authorities. Darren also revealed that quiet lay-bys are dangerous because of the type of attention they attract. The areas often have little phone signal and aren't in the view of traffic and public passing by. 'We've seen people wake up to broken windows, flat tyres, or worse having their personal belongings stolen while they sleep just metres away,' he said. Darren's warnings come as people become increasingly interested in car camping, according to Show Plates World. 'The internet makes car camping look easy,' Darren said. He added: 'But many of the setups you see online come from countries like the US, where the rules and landscape are totally different.' The warden admitted he understood why people were attracted to car camping, but ultimately deemed it wasn't 'worth the risk'. Darren said: 'I understand the appeal — pulling over somewhere quiet and free. But it's not worth the risk. 'It might save you a few pounds, but it could cost you your safety or your car.' He added: 'We've had reports of animals scratching at vehicles or climbing onto bonnets. 'You don't want to be startled awake at 3am by a curious badger.'

Regulators warn firms over car finance compensation claims
Consumers caught up in the motor finance scandal risk losing up to 30 per cent of redress by signing up to paid services they do not need, regulators have warned. In an intervention ahead of a major Supreme Court ruling on Friday, the Solicitors Regulation Authority and Financial Conduct Authority, which have become increasingly concerned, have warned law firms and claims management companies over poor practices in commission claims. The FCA has already required 224 promotions to be amended or withdrawn over the past year and the SRA has 89 investigations into 73 law firms over potential breaches of its rules relating to high-volume claims. • Rachel Reeves may overrule Supreme Court over car finance scandal The prospect of the motor finance industry being forced to pay out tens of billions of pounds in compensation to borrowers has led claims firms to gear up for a bonanza and hit the share price of some London-listed lenders. The FCA will confirm within six weeks of Friday's Supreme Court judgment whether it will propose to introduce a redress scheme for motor finance customers. The judgment follows a review of a landmark ruling in October by the Court of Appeal, which concluded that any type of commission that was not properly disclosed to a borrower was unlawful. The regulators said they expect law firms and claims management companies to inform clients of any redress scheme, or where there is a 'realistic prospect' of one being introduced, which would allow customers to instead pursue a claim independently and free of charge. They must also alert them to charges if they do use a firm and must be clear on exit fees. The regulators are concerned about the 'volume and accuracy' of marketing materials, a failure to advise consumers about free alternatives, and 'inaccurate or misleading' information on the likelihood of success or payouts. Sheree Howard, executive director at the FCA, said: 'We've seen law firms and CMCs [claims management companies] advertising highly speculative figures, so we are warning them of our expectations when it comes to drumming up clients for motor finance commission claims … If we introduce a redress scheme for motor finance, we will aim to make it easy for people to take part.' Paul Philip, chief executive of the SRA, said: 'Where we find cases where firms are not acting in the best interest of their clients, we will investigate and take action.'
