Condition
7
The car is described as being in very good condition for its age, with secondary carpets and hood noted as very good. All electrics work as they should. It has a comprehensive service history indicating good maintenance. While no major flaws are mentioned, the age and mileage suggest it falls into the 'Very Good' category rather than 'Excellent' or higher, as some wear is implied given its 1997 manufacture date and 102,650 odometer reading.

Description
Year: 1997 Make: Bentley Model: Azure Registration: P669 NJA
Chassis No: SCBZK15C0VCH61133
Odometer: 102,650 The Bentley Azure was launched in 1995 and quickly became a distinguished and desirable addition to the Bentley family.
The Azure was based on the hugely successful platform of the Continental R Coupé which had itself been launched just a few years before hand.
The Azure, as with its fixed roof sibling, graced us once more with both presence and sophistication whilst allowing comfortable seating of four adult passengers in convertible format.
Power came from the company's stalwart 6.75 litre, V8 featuring a single intercooled turbocharger producing in the region of 380bhp and capable of 0-60mph in an impressive 6.1 seconds.
Owing to the limited space at Bentley's Crewe factory, the Azure was designed and manufactured by Pininfarina, and whilst this significantly added to the vehicle's production cost, the resultant production vehicle was nothing short of stunning.
