PEUGEOT 306 CABRIOLET

This Pininfarina-designed drop-top is still plentiful and cheap as chips. What’s more, it looks better than most modern cabrios, and drives tidily too. Aircon, if fitted, rarely works, and the nasty plastic rear window can split, but mechanicals are generally dependable. Pick up a decent late example for £2000, or less for a pre-facelift version.
