THE BENTLEY AZURE
Based on the potent Bentley Continental R, the drop head Azure version was one of the most powerful cars of the era. The famous Italian styling house Pininfarina had been chosen to develop the Azure on the four-seater Continental R platform, and there was no question that the result was most successful.
Hailed by its maker as "the world's best convertible," the Azure lived up to that grand title, proving an immense success especially in the US where its combination of unmatched luxury, effortless performance and soft-top style was highly attractive. When production ceased in 2003 a total of only 1,321 Azures of all types had been built.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
Wearing a fine coat of Black paint, this Bentley Azure looks every bit as lavish as it did when it left the Crewe plant just over two decades ago. Inside, the interior was made to match with Silverstone Grey hides adorning the acres of space available, while black leather center console, carpets, and contrasts complete an opulent look. The whole package, this magnificent hand-built motorcar has been well-preserved over the years and even commonly fatigued pieces, such as the forest's worth of wood veneer, have stood the test of time.
The vehicle's life began in the sunshine of Los Angeles and was purchased by its first owner at Rolls-Royce of Beverly Hills. For the remainder of the 1990s, the car resided in Southern California before moving to Texas, and then to its long-term owner in British Columbia. Just 15,800 miles are recorded on the odometer at the time of cataloging, a figure well-documented in the history file, although a clerical error was indicated on the CARFAX in 2001. Over the span of two decades, the car has been well-maintained, and service documents on record all but confirm this fact. This is a wonderful opportunity to purchase a spectacular open-top Bentley who's retail price when new rivaled that of a modestly sized home.
