1998 Bentley Azure convertible

**Vehicle will be sold with the Reg plate R634 JBA**

Highlights

  • Exceptionally low mileage
  • Fantastic condition throughout
  • Full service history

The Appeal

The Bentley Azure; take a Continental R, remove the roof, stiffen the chassis and commission legendary Italian coachbuilders Pininfarina to aid in the conversion. The result, over two and half tonnes of pure rolling luxury that can hit 0-60 in under seven seconds.
It was the most expensive production convertible when it launched and it’s easy to see why. Powered by a turbocharged 6,750cc V8, with the finest most luxurious interior and an unparalleled attention to detail that easily justified its price.
The Azure is a great looking car that looks particularly fetching in metallic Peacock Blue. Having covered only 16,132 from new it’s in exceptionally good condition throughout and presents a fantastic opportunity to try one of the world's most luxurious convertibles.

The History and Paperwork

  • V5 Present and correct
  • Service stamps up to 15,859 miles
  • Original owner manual
  • Some previous MOTs
  • An invoice from a Bentley specialist for the fitment of reversing sensors and camera with new stereo
  • An invoice detailing a full air conditioning system service and re-gas
  • A selection of other invoices for servicing and repairs
  • On the original number plate as shown on the V5

The Interior

  • Superb condition throughout
  • Cream leather heated seats
  • Blue lambswool over-rugs
  • Excellent hand-polished wood trim
There are few cars that can match the sheer luxury and refinement of a Bentley and nowhere is this more evident than with the interior. From the chrome switches, to the hand-polished wood trim and blue lambswool over-rugs the entire interior is designed to provide the absolute pinnacle of luxury motoring, and it doesn’t disappoint. 
The gorgeous interior is in fantastic condition as is to be expected with such a low mileage example. From the wooden trim to the deep carpeting the interior presents excellently and everythings works perfectly. The current owner has had a reversing sensor system and camera professionally fitted to aid in manoeuvring. The system uses an aftermarket stereo with a flip up screen and the original stereo is included with the car.

The Exterior

  • Classic Bentley design; large and bold with a commanding road presence
  • Fantastic Peacock Blue exterior
  • Superb condition
  • All four wheels present very well
The Bentley Azure is a big car, it’s a convertible with a commanding presence like few others and finished in metallic Peacock Blue it makes for an exceptional looking car. If you’re looking for style, luxury and to make an impression, this Azure is the car for you.
The big distinctive grille and lights is classic Bentley styling and present excellently. All of the chrome trim from the thin rear-light surrounds to the mirror like panels on the doors is in fantastic condition and this excellent condition is matched by every other aspect of the exterior from the soft-top to the badges, this is a car that looks as good as it goes. 

The Mechanics

  • Exceptionally low mileage
  • Stored indoors
  • Service stamps
  • Very well maintained with the invoices to prove it
  • Starts easily and idles perfectly
  • Sounds fantastic
  • The owner reports that it drives exactly as it should
It’s clear to see that this is a car that has not only been well cared for, but has really wanted for nothing. As with both the interior and the exterior of this car, its mechanical aspects all present very well. The engine bay is clean and tidy and the underside presents exceptionally well, looking more like that of a new car fresh off of the forecourt than one that is 24 years old.
It starts easily on a turn of the key and the 6.75l turbo V8 sounds fantastic with no unwanted or unusual noises. The owner reports that it drives perfectly and having covered so few miles, with Bentley build quality and full service history we’d expect nothing less.

Summary

The Azure is a car that stands out and for all of the right reasons, finished in Peacock Blue and in fantastic condition throughout this must be one of the best available. With a full service history and very low mileage it’s a great opportunity to own one of these fantastic cars that’s as close to new as is possible.
