"However, while the fine weather we have been experiencing may have delayed visits to showrooms, dealers should expect a strong performance through the remainder of the month as the ‘heat wave’ continues."
The warm weather has also resulted in an improved ahead-of-season interest in convertible cars, with all five top selling models in the week after the Easter bank holiday coming from prestige brands.
The most popular model was the Mercedes Benz SLK, followed by the BMW 1 Series Convertible and the Mini Convertible.
