More OAPs opt for 'topless' driving
A growing number of women in their 60s and 70s are splashing out on open-topped cars, a new report has revealed.
Research for AA Insurance showed that since last summer 54% more women in their late 60s and 40% more women in their early 70s own a convertible.
The number of "open-top OAPs" is also increasing among men, but at a slower rate, the study found.
By contrast, the number of younger people driving a convertible car has fallen, especially among women in their late 20s and men in their early 30s.
The research, based on the AA's one million car insurance customers, showed that the biggest increases in soft-top cars insured since last year were in the North East, Scotland and North West.
There was a "marked decline" in the South East.
Kevin Sinclair, managing director of AA Insurance, said: "Recent fine weather combined with easy access to competitive insurance quotes means you're increasingly likely to get a slick silver surfer enjoying an open-top convertible as you are a boy racer."
