The result was an unparalleled luxury performance automobile, capable of running from 0 to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds and achieving a top speed of 168 mph while carrying four passengers in cosseting comfort. Each example still exhibited the coachbuilt level of fine detail that one would expect in a Bentley, and the new Azure found homes in some of the most prominent carriage houses the world over.

According to factory build information on file, the Azure offered here was built for the Canadian market and retailed through Bentley Vancouver. It was finished in the stunning hue of Peacock, with upholstery in Cotswold and Nautic leather, Blue convertible top, painted radiator shell with bright stainless steel grille matrix, jeweled fuel filler cap, and without rear quarter badges, giving it a more clean and tidy appearance. The interior was equipped with an Alpine stereo system, including CD and MP3 player, as well as inlaid burr oak veneers, massaging front seats with embroidered Bentley headrest motifs, drilled aluminum foot pedals, and a wood and leather steering wheel. All rides on beautiful chromed 19-inch seven-spoke alloy wheels.

Sparingly driven and well-maintained in its present ownership, the car recorded 3,345 miles at the time of cataloguing, and it remains a splendid example of the type. The Azure has been freshly serviced in February 2024 by marque specialists Vantage Motorworks, including an oil change and installation of a new battery. It is accompanied by service records from the present ownership, as well as its original books, and would be an outstanding acquisition for any enthusiast of the finest modern Bentleys.
