In 1991, introduced the Continental R, a beautiful coupé and the first model not based on a Rolls-Royce. The Continental R is the fastest production car the brand has built up to that point and it is also the most expensive series car for sale at that time. Four years later, Bentley presents the open variant, the Azure.

Pininfarina will be given the honour of developing the open version and the Italian design house will also be tasked with assembling the cars before they are shipped to Crewe for finishing. The 6.75-litre V8 is the same as in the coupé, but now with even more power.
This second generation of the Bentley Azure was developed during the twilight period when the VAG group and BMW were fighting over who would own Bentley and Rolls-Royce. Eventually, the VAG group added Bentley to its portfolio and BMW took off with Rolls-Royce. During the negotiations, it quickly became clear to Volkswagen that if Bentley did not invest in the development of a power unit itself, there would be a good chance that it would have to turn to BMW for its 4.4 V8 engine. Bentley, therefore, started with a very thorough development of the 6.75 tappet V8, which is also the engine in this Azure. The foresight of then VAG boss Piëch was a hit and the 6.75 V8 engine in this Bentley is still one of the main reasons for people to buy the car.

This Azure was ‘born’ in 2009. Since then, the car has been enjoyed only marginally because the odometer of this four-seater convertible is only 24,818 kilometres. It will therefore not surprise you that the condition of this huge, 5.42 meter long Azure is simply stunning.
The burgundy, almost black paint has a beautiful shine and the body is free of damage. Simply put, this English-style icon is in as good as new condition. The body seams and closures are exactly as they should be. The large 20” wheels, chrome and lighting parts are all very fresh and give the car the sparkling look it should have.
The dark brown convertible top, which has not been used much due to the limited experience of the car, is also exceptionally beautiful. Both the dark exterior and the very luxurious interior lining are beautiful.

Now that we look inside: this Azure is equipped with a particularly stylish and luxurious interior: dark brown with beige accents, with the wooden inlays of the dashboard and doors combining better with this dark exterior colour than we have ever seen before. Look around you and you will fully understand why the model was and perhaps still is the world’s best convertible. The interior looks exceptionally fresh, even if we take the mileage into consideration. What a place to be!

Technically the car is completely in order. A look under the bonnet shows that the gigantic twin-turbocharged V8 not only runs beautifully smoothly but is also in excellent optical condition. With over 450 hp of power and an impressive torque of 875 Nm, driving the Bentley is an absurdly pleasant experience. Comfort like no other convertible, combined with an extremely smooth and very fast eight-cylinder: it simply doesn’t get much better than this Azure.

In terms of maintenance, the Bentley is fully up to date, according to the original maintenance book, which includes the leather case with all other documents. The bottom is undamaged and shows that the car has had no damage.

It is probably difficult to find an Azure with such mileage and in a condition like this.
