If you are looking for class and performance, look no further than the models from Bentley Motors. Bentley Motors Limited was founded in 1919 in Crewe, England as a designer and manufacturer of luxury cars and SUVs. Bentley has a heritage in motorsport, especially the endurance type, such as the 24 Hours Le Mans where they've won multiple times. From 1995 to 2009, the Bentley Azure was produced under two distinct generations. The Azure was co-designed with Pininfarina, hence its sleek and classy appearance. For 1996 Bentley made and sold only 229 units, of which this particular 1996 Bentley Azure convertible with just 27,500 miles on the odometer, still in excellent shape and ready for a new home.
Exterior and Interior
This particular 1996 Bentley Azure convertible comes bedecked in a dazzling surmounted by a deep red soft top with white stitching. A set of multi-spoke OEM Bentley wheels in silver with blue center caps is visible on the car. Make no mistake, the Azure is a long car, and it shows in the length of its hood and trunk. The front features a quad-arranged headlight flanking the instantly recognizable Bentley chrome grille, while the hood is topped off by the Bentley winged blue badge. The front bumper features air dams to provide optimum cool air to the engine compartment. Onto the rear, we can see a spartan affair with just the Azure and Bentley badges and chrome trim around. Following the soft tops color scheme, the interior is adorned in all-out red. The ribbed leather seats feature white piping, echoing the exterior. The dash is host to the same red as the rest of the interior, along with white contrast stitching and a wood veneer inlay for the ultimate class experience. The seller reports that the stock stereo has been replaced with a Pioneer unit with Bluetooth functions. A black leather-wrapped steering wheel with the Bentley logo etched onto it takes center place on the tilt-capable steering column.
Engine
Bentley offered the Azure in just one engine and transmission option: the massive 6.75L turbocharged V8 engine coupled to a 4-speed GM automatic transmission. Power output is at 385hp, along with 553 lb.ft of torque. The Azure can clock in an impressive 6.5 seconds in the 0-62 mph with a top speed of 150 mph.
The first-generation Bentley Azure is one of the iconic British luxury automaker’s last old-school machines before the Volkswagen takeover and subsequent new styling and technology direction. It’s old enough to be a classic very soon, yet not too old that you are forced to give up many modern conveniences. That’s why an Azure is a great choice for the discerning sort who wants British luxury in their life, but without digital gauge clusters and fiddly touchscreen infotainment systems. So, we’ve got a 2001 Bentley Azure for sale right now. This South Carolina-based machine comes with some original documents and service records too, and has traveled just under 32,000 miles in its life.
The Bentley Azure, a name synonymous with luxury and exclusivity, was produced from 1995 to 2003, with fewer than 1,500 units leaving the factory. This rarity underscores the allure of owning such a distinguished vehicle. The 2001 model year under discussion is a prime example of Bentley's craftsmanship in creating a four-seat, drop-top grand tourer that exudes elegance and sophistication. With only 32,000 miles on the odometer, this Azure comes well-documented with service records, two keys, and original manuals and books, making it a collector's dream.
Bentley and Rolls-Royce are arguably the finest mass-production luxury car makes in the world. Both are British brands, albeit owned by German automotive giants these days. The company is 102 years old and going strong. Their Azure model was produced over two generations from 1995 until 2009, as a convertible grand tourer. Based on the Arnage, it was a Bentley for those who wanted an luxury open-top two-door tourer, opposed to the brand’s four-door luxury sedans. If stately British luxury in a drop-top body is your thing, here’s a nice 1996 Bentley Azure Convertible for consideration. Coming from Florida with just 24,337 miles on its wheels, it’s an ideal thing to cruise around in whilst turning heads and doing so in supreme style and comfort.
