Bentley and Rolls-Royce are arguably the finest mass-production luxury car makes in the world. Both are British brands, albeit owned by German automotive giants these days. The company is 102 years old and going strong. Their Azure model was produced over two generations from 1995 until 2009, as a convertible grand tourer. Based on the Arnage, it was a Bentley for those who wanted an luxury open-top two-door tourer, opposed to the brand’s four-door luxury sedans. If stately British luxury in a drop-top body is your thing, here’s a nice 1996 Bentley Azure Convertible for consideration. Coming from Florida with just 24,337 miles on its wheels, it’s an ideal thing to cruise around in whilst turning heads and doing so in supreme style and comfort.
Bentley’s design cues are iconic, and to this day, their cars can be recognized as such. Quad headlamps and an imposing grille at the front, sculpted sides and forward-slanted rear are all hallmarks that this 1996 Bentley Azure Convertible proudly proclaims in its shiny maroon paintwork. Five-spoke alloys with the Bentley ‘B’ on the center caps are what it rolls on, and its convertible top is in maroon too. This is a long car, at 210 inches or 5.3 meters, and it’s wide as well, measuring at 74 inches or 1.88 meters. The interior features a cream and burgundy color combination with wood accents on the dash and door cards. The seats feature red piping, and the front seats are heated and powered with memory function. Just two dials, the speedo and tacho face the driver, the latter lazily redlined at 4,500rpm highlighting this car’s relaxed cruising ethos. All other gauges are clustered on the center console. This car also has bi-level climate control and an aftermarket Pioneer stereo with USB and CD functions.
This 1996 Bentley Azure Convertible is powered by the brand’s signature 6.75L turbocharged V8 engine that puts out 385hp at 4,000rpm and 553lb.ft of torque at a lazy 2,000rpm. The power is sent to the rear wheels via a General Motors 4L80-E four-speed automatic transmission. Despite the kerb weight of over two and a half tons (5,700lb), the Azure is able to do the zero to sixty dash in a sprightly six and a half seconds, and tops out at 150mph.

The Bentley Azure, a name synonymous with luxury and exclusivity, was produced from 1995 to 2003, with fewer than 1,500 units leaving the factory. This rarity underscores the allure of owning such a distinguished vehicle. The 2001 model year under discussion is a prime example of Bentley's craftsmanship in creating a four-seat, drop-top grand tourer that exudes elegance and sophistication. With only 32,000 miles on the odometer, this Azure comes well-documented with service records, two keys, and original manuals and books, making it a collector's dream.
If you are looking for class and performance, look no further than the models from Bentley Motors. Bentley Motors Limited was founded in 1919 in Crewe, England as a designer and manufacturer of luxury cars and SUVs. Bentley has a heritage in motorsport, especially the endurance type, such as the 24 Hours Le Mans where they've won multiple times. From 1995 to 2009, the Bentley Azure was produced under two distinct generations. The Azure was co-designed with Pininfarina, hence its sleek and classy appearance. For 1996 Bentley made and sold only 229 units, of which this particular 1996 Bentley Azure convertible with just 27,500 miles on the odometer, still in excellent shape and ready for a new home.

It seems that the majority of cars are built with sportiness in mind. They’re all about setting record lap times and immense cornering speeds. Sometimes though, it is time to take a step back and appreciate the other end of the spectrum. This 2005 Bentley Continental GT with just 48,000 miles on the odometer is not a car you set record lap times in, but perhaps a new Canon Ball record. That’s more its forte. Wafting along the interstate in complete silence is something that most other cars struggle to achieve. With the name synonymous with Bentley for several decades, Bentley has built a reputation for creating one of the best, if not the best grand tourers of all time, and the rest as they say is history.
Bentley is the choice for the discerning luxury car buyer who loves to drive, rather than be driven. That’s why this brand is a bit more towards the tire-smoking, apex-cutting direction, unlike Rolls-Royce, who frown upon such shenanigans. While the brand makes some superb full-size luxury sedans, grand tourers and even an SUV today, why not sample some old-school, modern-classic Bentley magic. Consider this 1999 Bentley Arnage Green Label as the perfect partner to do so. It’s got under 77,000 miles on the clock, and comes to you with two keys. Morevoer, the current owner tells us that it’s received an oil and filter change, plus an HVAC system servicing in August 2024.
