Bentley Azure 1st Gen listings57 for sale now
Based on the Continental R platform, the Bentley Azure debuted in 1995 as the world's most expensive and powerful four-seat convertible. Its body shells were built by Pininfarina in Italy before being shipped to Crewe for final assembly, powertrain installation, and trimming. Under the massive hood sits Bentley's legendary 6.75-liter V8, initially with a single Garrett turbocharger producing around 385 hp, making it a prodigiously fast and comfortable grand tourer.
Collectors are drawn to the first-generation Azure for its status as one of the final models from Bentley's pre-Volkswagen Group era. It represents a high point of hand-built craftsmanship combined with imposing old-world presence that later models don't quite replicate. The performance is still impressive, especially in the later Mulliner and 'T' models which received twin-turbo setups and over 400 hp.
Buying Tips
- The complex electro-hydraulic convertible top is the single most expensive system to repair. Operate it multiple times and check for slow operation, leaks, and a snug fit.
- Insist on a complete and documented service history. The 6.75-liter V8 is durable but requires specialist maintenance, and deferred work on gaskets or cooling systems can lead to huge bills.
- Check the self-leveling hydraulic suspension for leaks and proper operation. Failed accumulators or struts are common and costly to replace with factory parts.
- Test every single electronic feature, from the memory seats and windows to the climate control. Electronic gremlins are common and can be frustrating and expensive to diagnose and fix.
