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.
Exterior and Interior
The squared-off lines and signature stance of this 2001 Bentley Azure are quintessential old-school British luxury design cues, from a time when Bentley and Rolls-Royce were closely related. You can see how this black car’s exterior is perfectly representative of a simpler time, when tasteful lashings of chrome and tall-profile, comfort-oriented tires were more important than outrageous curves and rubber-band tires. Since the car is a convertible, it’s got a power-operated canvas top in black. The interior of this 2001 Bentley Azure is an absolute treat to those who appreciate fine, hand-built passenger cabins in their cars. The seats are covered in soft beige leather and there’s plenty of real wood trim to enjoy. Meanwhile, chrome gently embellishes certain areas such as the air vent controls and window switch surrounds. Then, you’ve got bi-level climate control, power adjustment and memory functions for the front seats, and even seat heaters. The music system in this car has been upgraded to a modern unit with a CD player as well. As for the driver, there’s a pleasingly analog gauge cluster with a tachometer redlined at just 4,500rpm, showcasing this car’s peaceful cruising abilities.
Engine
This 2001 Bentley Azure uses a 6.75-liter V8 under the hood. The engine is endowed with a turbocharger, but isn’t the high-rev screamer you might expect. In fact, peak power of a reported 385hp is made at just 4,000rpm, while the 553lb-ft torque peak arrives at just 2,000rpm. This means that the car is a smooth cruiser, aided by its 4-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive layout. However, you can still see 0-60 in a factory-rated 6.5 seconds if you press it on.

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.

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.
