Women hoping to attract male attention should get behind the wheel of a classic convertible, and be able to drive it well, according to a survey from evecars.com.

The women's car website polled a cross-section of men to discover which cars they'd be most impressed to see a woman driving. The winner was the Mercedes-Benz SL Roadster, a classic model built from 1955 to 1963, and made famous by Grace Kelly who drove the car in the film High Society.

'The vintage Mercedes SL Roadster is undeniably a beautiful car, which oozes style and class. Buying one isn't cheap, but proves the owner appreciates the finer things in life,' says Alex Jenner-Fust, editor of evecars.com.

Although most of the favourites are performance cars, including the Porsche 911, Mitsubishi Evo and Subaru Impreza - the Queen's favourite vehicle the Land Rover Defender also scored highly in the top ten.

'The men we polled love the idea of a woman at the wheel of a high performance car, but only if she knows how to handle it,' says Alex Jenner-Fust. 'That's why the idea of a Land Rover Defender driven by the Queen is far more appealing than a modern Mercedes convertible being driven, or crashed, by the likes of Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears.
