The British summer is just about here — the sun is coming out for its one week of the year, and now might just be the time to capitalise on that by nabbing yourself a drop-top car.

Regardless, drop-tops are immensely popular here in Britain. Thankfully, you don’t need to spend a packet in order to get that wind-in-your-hair experience, which is why we’ve picked out some of the best convertibles that you can get your hands on for under £2,000.

MG TF

Citroen C3 Pluriel

Mercedes SLK

Toyota MR2

Mazda MX-5

Mini Convertible

The Mini's excellent build quality and sharp design makes it a decent option — (PA)

Saab 9-3

Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet

The arrangement of the folding cloth hood drew some criticism – mainly for the way the fabric lies strangely at the rear of the car when collapsed – but this shouldn’t put you off, as the Beetle is a decent and reliable soft-top.
