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
This beautiful Bentley was ordered new through Rolls-Royce of Beverly Hill in the late spring of 1995, one of 160 Azures to be produced in that year. With a keen eye for style and design, the first, and so far, only, owner smartly specified his Azure in the classic and elegant color scheme of Racing Green over Soft Tan hides with matching Spruce Green piping and Conifer Green moutons (lambswool) with Soft Tan trim enveloped by a Green Everflex convertible top with a Parchment cloth headliner. Additional options included a matching Spruce Green tool roll, Soft Tan leather underdash trim, radio surround, and rear parcel shelf, rear mouton carpets, and burl elm veneers throughout. The factory in Crewe received the order on May 23, 1995 and completed the car about six months later, with it clearing customs in Long Beach on January 10, 1996. Delivered on January 23, 1996.
The original owner has retained his Azure since new in sunny Southern California. Regularly serviced at Bentley of Beverly Hills and with other marque specialists, the luxurious droptop has been sparingly used in the past 27 years. Showing under 14,000 original miles today, it is accompanied by copies of service records from throughout its pampered history, a clean CARFAX report, and copies of its original build records. This is a wonderful opportunity to become the second owner of a spectacular open-top Bentley, the retail price of which when new rivaled that of a modestly sized home.
