Bentley 1948-2004
There just seems to be no stopping MarkVI Bentleys from popping up in a markets where quality 1940s UK cars aren’t common.
Prices around $40,000 for decent MarkVI or R Series are reasonable, as is the $55-65,000 being sought for later S2 V8s.
The Turbo R comes [or should] with warning stickers because these complex cars need even more intensive maintenance than the similarly-priced Mulsanne or Eight.
Jumping to more modern designs and with $100K in your budget, the choice is between the elegant but conservative Arnage or a Continental GT that looks like it should be lapping Le Mans.
Bentleys in this price bracket were often sold new outside Australia so thorough checking is essential.
MarkVI/R Type $37,700 [7]
S1-S3 Saloon $61,250 [9]
EIGHT/Mulsanne 1981-89 $29,630 [9]
Turbo R 1984-90 $36,835 [5]
Arnage 2001-03 $91,140 [6]
