2002 Bentley Azure Mulliner Wide Body Convertible

Highlights

  • Very low mileage of under 30,000 miles
  • Desirable Wide-Body specification
  • Handsome ‘triple black’ colour scheme in good order
  • Well maintained car by marque specialists 
  • 2024 Recent £15,000 of checks and maintenance by Hanwell’s
  • MOT to November 2025 with no advisories 

The Appeal 

It was exactly the right name. ‘Azure’ conjures up the sweeping, winding corniche roads and wide, shaded boulevards of the South of France for which these big, handsome convertibles are perfectly suited. 
The Azure was the last of a particular type of Bentley, one fully handbuilt and featuring the illustrious 6.75L V8 that had powered the cars since the 1950s. Just 1,400 left the works, all based on the running gear of the well regarded Continental coupe. 
This three-keeper, ultra low mileage car follows an understated theme with its handsome ‘triple black’ finish - Mason’s Black paintwork, black mohair roof and sumptuous black leather cabin. It is a well specified ‘Mulliner’ model with the exceptionally rare 'Wide Body' specification and the usual bespoke features applied to these upgraded cars. It comes to market fresh from a very recent check over and maintenance by specialist Hanwell’s of London where the current keeper spent £15,000 attending to anything and everything. The result is a car in very good cosmetic and mechanical order. 
That is underlined by the photographs and the long-advisory free MOT to November 2025. Spring is springing and summer is on its way - perfect times for this great car.
