To recap:

All the terms have fallen prey to modern marketing and are used pretty randomly in that context.

However, generally

DHC .... full height doors .... possibly 'fixed hood' like a pram

Spider ..... open sporty car .... must be two seats

Convertible/Cabriolet ..... two or four seater ....has a hardtop equivalent

Roadster ..... two seater .... sidescreens

Or maybe not crazy2
