Bentley Azure Submodels
The Bentley Azure debuted in 1995 as a grand, 4-seat convertible based on the Continental R platform. Bentley outsourced the convertible conversion to Pininfarina in Italy, who reinforced the chassis, fitted the body panels, and installed the complex, fully-automated fabric roof. Power came from the company's long-serving 6.75-liter V8, turbocharged to provide effortless performance befitting the car's 3-ton weight.
Collectors are drawn to the Azure's blend of hand-built British luxury and Italian design. First-generation cars (1995-2003) are particularly notable for their connection to Pininfarina and represent one of the last models from the pre-Volkswagen era. The second-generation Azure (2006-2009), developed under VW, offered more power and updated technology, with the twin-turbo Azure T being the most sought-after model.
The market for the Azure is wide, reflecting the differences between the two generations and individual car conditions. The average sale price sits around $72,000, but early, higher-mileage cars can be found for much less, representing a significant value. Low-mileage, second-generation Azure T models sit at the top of the market, often selling for well over $150,000.
Buying Tips
- The electro-hydraulic convertible top is famously complex and expensive to fix. Operate it several times and check for hydraulic fluid leaks in the trunk.
- Insist on a complete service history. Deferred maintenance on the 6.75L V8 and the hydraulic self-leveling suspension can lead to five-figure repair bills.
- Check every electronic component, from the multi-way adjustable seats and climate control to the original infotainment system, as diagnosing faults is difficult.
- Pininfarina's conversion process was excellent, but check for any corrosion on the underbody, sills, and around the convertible top's stowage area.
Prices range from around $24,200 for early project cars to over $250,000 for pristine, late-model Azure T examples.
