1993 Bentley Turbo R 120,000 miles, £15,950: The real thing and from one of the best independent specialists, so you can’t go wrong. Two-year warranty as well. The last of the blockwork Bentleys has it all.

Volvo C70: These look smart – not smart P1800, but at least the C70 wasn’t a house brick. A complete four-seater with luggage space for all. Five-cylinder engines, some with turbos, were good, and eventually a cheaper 2.0 arrived. There was also the rather exciting T5. Value-for-money specs included air conditioning, most electrics, and a decent stereo. Most had leather, or at least partially. For many, the GT was the pick of the packages, with a sports leather-trimmed steering wheel, stereo upgrade, stability control and a sunroof.
Not only did we get the cool coupe, but there was also the sleek convertible with an advanced power roof that only took one push of a button to operate, as well as a proper glass rear window. Incredibly, four roof colors were available to complement the bodywork, but the most important thing is that it works.
The C70s are now decades old. There can be electrical issues, and water leaks through exterior mirrors are difficult to sort out. Rust can be a problem, otherwise it’s the brakes and suspension. Certainly the T5 needs a cast iron history to reassure itself. As an alternative to a German, this is probably the smartest choice.
