Designed by one of the world's finest designers, Pininfarina, then hand-assembled and finished by Rolls-Royce, it was no surprise that every one of Bentley's 1,015 Azure units was pre-sold before even being built. An evolution of the Continental R, the Azure soon achieved iconic status among luxury car buyers. Now, more than 25 years since its 1995 introduction, it has a deserved reputation as being one of the best combinations of power and luxury to emerge from Bentley's Crewe factory.

The Azure's elegant, understated body design, luxurious interior, and state-of-the-art powertrain was designed for maximum motoring style, comfort, and performance. Capable of a maximum speed of 155 miles per hour, the Azure is a car that elevates the driving experience beyond mere transportation with its top speed simply the byproduct of the power produced from its 6.75-liter V8 intercooled turbocharged engine. The sumptuous Connolly leather upholstery was fashioned with the goal to be peerless among all luxury car manufacturers.

This Azure is a fine, low-mileage representative of the model presented in the classic color of Bentley Racing Green with an interior coordinated Tan power top. The interior is swathed in Soft Tan Connolly leather upholstery with contrasting Spruce Green piping and Tan carpets. The silver painted wheels pair perfectly with the classic, understated exterior and, as expected, this most elegant Bentley is presented in a very tidy fashion. The accompanying clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report notes a single owner beginning in March of 1996 in Houston, Texas, and has remained there ever since. Additionally, the CARFAX paints the picture of a well-serviced Bentley recording numerous maintenance visits throughout the 2000s at Post Oak Motor Cars of Houston, Texas. Recent servicing in November 2023 included a fresh fuel pump and filter, a new alternator, and six new convertible top cylinders along with fuel injector cleaning and a new battery. The invoice for this recent work, totaling over $13,000 and previous service work dating back to 2006, can be viewed in its online history file.

Ultimately, the Azure is a driver's car disguised as a boulevard cruiser; a powerful, yet well-mannered machine, equally capable of a spirited run through the mountains as an elegant conveyance for a foursome to the golf club. Presented here, as when new, this Azure offers the ultimate in comfort and style delivering exciting, powerful, yet impeccable road manners.
