Description

Description Part of a considerable private collection; deceased estate; fantastic luxury; showing 50,379 miles

Introduced in 1995, the Bentley Azure was the marque’s flagship convertible, combining traditional hand-built craftsmanship with effortless V8 performance and modern luxury.

Based on the Continental R, the Azure offered open-top touring with exceptional refinement, powered by Bentley’s turbocharged 6.75-litre V8 engine.

Produced in limited numbers and at considerable cost when new, the Azure remains one of the most exclusive and recognisable Bentley models of the late 20th century.

The youngest vehicle from within a private collection consigned to this auction, this Azure has had just three former keepers, including our vendor, and is showing only 50,379 miles.

Like the other vehicles from the collection, it has seen very little use in the last 18 months, but reassuringly last passed an MOT in 2024, covering just over 50 miles since, indicating little use since.
