Bentley Azure

”YOU ARE LOOKING AT A 1999 BENTLEY AZURE. KEEP IN MIND THERE WERE ONLY 141 BUILT WORLDWIDE OF THIS CONVERTIBLE. AN ELEGANT FULL-SIZE SPORTY TWO-DOOR CONVERTIBLE IN MAGNOLIA WITH LIGHT TAN INTERIOR AND A TAN CONVERTIBLE TOP. THIS IS A FIRST GENERATION EXAMPLE The Bentley Azure is a four-seater convertible grand tourer produced by British automobile manufacturer Bentley Motors. The first version debuted in 1995 on the Bentley Continental R platform and was made until 2003 Pininfarina assisted in the two-year process of turning the Continental R into a full four-seater convertible and also built the shell and soft-top at their factory in Italy, largely from parts sourced in the UK. Final assembly was then carried out at Crewe. A roll-bar was never considered, which necessitated extensive reinforcing of the chassis [3]. At 210 in (5,340 mm) in length and 2,608 kg (5,750 lb) in weight, the Azure often surprised onlookers with its size and bulk, intended to both convey a sense of ””presence”” and allow for comfortable seating of four adult passengers. Power came from the company’s stalwart 6.75-litre V8, featuring a single, intercooled Garrett turbocharger and rated in the region of 365 PS (268 kW; 360 hp)—Rolls-Royce and Bentley did not yet give official power numbers at the time of the Azure’s introduction. [4] By the time production began in earnest, a new engine management system from Zytek meant a slight power increase to 390 PS (287 kW; 385 hp) at 4,000 rpm and 750 N·m (553 lb·ft) of torque at 2,000 rpm THESE ARE TIMELESS, ELEGANT TWO-DOOR CONVERTIBLES, AND WITH ONLY 141 BUILT IN 1999, A TRUE CLASSIC TO COLLECT OR DRIVE DAILY.”
