Description
OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE
Before World War II, the Bentley Mark V was called the “Silent Sports Car,” refined and loved by owners, among them land speed record holder Sir Malcolm Campbell. The Bentley Azure, the direct successor to the long-running, handcrafted Rolls-Royce Corniche, carried on that tradition. The first-generation Azure was introduced in 1995 and produced through 2003, with the luxurious, handcrafted appointments that set it apart from its six-figure competitors.
Famed coachbuilder Pininfarina worked with Bentley to create a graceful convertible with uncluttered styling and elegant proportions. Bentley was still a part of Rolls-Royce in 1997, and its famous 6.75-liter V8 engine was aided by a Garrett intercooled turbocharger and could propel the 5,500-pound convertible to 60 mph in around six seconds, with a graceful maximum speed of 155 mph.
This 1997 Bentley Azure is finished in Black over a Soft Tan Connolly Leather interior and matching soft top, and it shows just shy of 59,000 miles.
This 1997 Bentley Azure is now represented at no reserve by a Broad Arrow Specialist with a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a clean California title.
