2001 Bentley Azure Convertible Coupe

Pininfarina was selected to develop the Azure on the four-seater Continental R platform. The body shells were assembled in Italy by Pininfarina and then shipped to the United Kingdom for finishing at the Bentley factory at Crewe. Hailed as 'the world's best Convertible,' it offered unmatched luxury, soft-top style, attractive styling, and effortless performance.

This particular example is finished in ivory white with a Parchment leather interior. It was assembled by hand at the Crewe Bentley works during January of 2001 and delivered new to the United States in February of 2001. It spent time in Seattle, Washington before heading to Illinois in 2007. In December of 2010, it found an owner in New York where it showed just 22,011 miles on the odometer and remained there until 2016. With nearly 28,000 miles on its odometer, the car is believed to have migrated south to Florida.

Currently, this Bentley Azure has 33,946 miles. It is equipped with a 6,750cc overhead-valve, turbocharged V8 engine with electronic fuel injection, and delivers 385 horsepower at 4,000 RPM. It has a four-wheel independent suspension, four-speed automatic transmission, and four-wheel disc brakes.
