In 1991 introduced the Continental R, a beautiful coupé and the first model not to be based on a Rolls-Royce. The Continental R was the fastest production car they built at the time as well as being the most expensive one on the market. Four years later Bentley came with the open variant named the Azure. Pininfarina are awarded the honour of developing as well as assembling the open version before they were shipped over to Crewe for finishing. The 6.75 litre V8 is the same one used in the coupé although now with increased power. The 390 hp and automatic 4L80-E GM 4-speed make the Azure the world’s best convertible, as Bentley proudly proclaimed. Eventually over 1,300 Azures were built until production stopped in 2003.
This Azure was ‘born’ in 1996. Since then its use has been frugal with only 23,407 km on the clock. It is unsurprisingly the state of this huge Azure is simply magnificent. The car was kept in a collection and the last ten years was owned by one enthusiastic collector.

The navy blue finish is wonderful and the bodywork totally free from any nasty damage. Only a few barely detectable scratches reveal this Bentley is not brand new. The seams of the bodywork and shutlines are exactly as they should be. Wheels, brightwork and lighting system are all nice and fresh and give the car the kind of sparkle it deserves. The hood too is due to lack of exposure particularly in fine shape, both on the outside and its very luxuriously finished inside.

Whilst we are having a look inside just take in the beautiful purple and navy blue accents employed. Almost every coloured part is in light purple. That includes the leather upholstery and carpets. Only the piping and part of the steering wheel are navy, connecting to the exterior theme. Wooden panels on the dashboard, middle console and door panels add a cachet of luxury. We can fully appreciate why this model went through life as the world’s best convertible. Even considering the mileage the interior is as fresh as a daisy. What a jolly pleasant place to be it is!

There are no qualms with regards to any mechanical aspect. A glance under the bonnet reveals a beautiful gigantic V8 in gleaming condition. The same is true when it comes to the floor, fully undamaged having clearly escaped any nasty harm.

Find another Azure in this condition if you can; we expect you might struggle somewhat.
