Conceived by Pininfarina and hand-finished by Rolls-Royce, the
Bentley Azure was
destined for success, with all 1,015 units spoken for before
production even
began. Launched in 1995 as a natural evolution of the Continental
R, the Azure
quickly earned iconic status, embodying the very best of Crewe's
blend of
tradition and modern engineering. More than 25 years later, it
remains
celebrated as one of the most distinguished combinations of power
and luxury
ever produced by Bentley.
The Azure's design strikes a balance between elegance and
understatement,
exemplified in this example with the sweeping lines bathed in rich
Black paint,
paired with a cabin trimmed in the finest Magnolia Connolly
leather. Its
craftsmanship set benchmarks in comfort and exclusivity, while
beneath the
refined exterior lay formidable performance. Powered by a
6.75-liter
turbocharged V8, the Azure delivered effortless acceleration and a
top speed of
155 mph. It combines this prowess without overshadowing its true
purpose:
offering unparalleled motoring luxury for the most discerning
clientele.
The clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report for this Azure begins on 26
July 2000,
when the car cleared customs in Long Beach, California, followed by
its first
owner titling it in California in August 2001. It remained under
the care of its
original owner until it was acquired by its next caretaker in 2020.
Since
acquiring the car, it was featured in the 2024 Hollywood movie,
Beverly Hills
Cop: Axel F, featuring Eddie Murphy and Bronson Pinchot.
At first glance, the Bentley Azure is a boulevard cruiser; in
truth, it's a
driver's car-powerful yet impeccably mannered, able to carve
mountain roads or
convey a golf foursome in serene comfort. This example, with just
under 44,000
miles, remains beautifully preserved, its cabin and composure
unchanged. Beyond
its original cachet as the apex of bespoke luxury, this example
gained modern
fame with a 2024 silver-screen appearance in Beverly Hills Cop.
Poised between
performance and poise, the Azure remains an elegant icon that
rewards attentive
drivers while cosseting passengers in luxury.
