Few cars have the presence of a Bentley Azure, in any environment, and it is a car that benefits from elegant colour combinations; none are more timeless than the specification of this particular example’s Peacock Pearl over Sandstone and Royal Blue leather, finished with burr walnut trims and the desirable laser-cut radiator grille. It is of little surprise that Bentley themselves used an almost identical specification for their press photos, deciding to forgo any of the later Mulliner-sourced trims that arguably detract from the classical lines that Pininfarina created when removing the roof from the Continental R.

It has covered just under 11,500 miles since being delivered new by Straight Eight New Forest Bentley in 1998 and presents in beautiful condition. The magnificent cabin shows minimal wear, whilst on the outside the soft top is in wonderful condition, and the paintwork retains a deep shine. The presence of rare and correct Avon Turbospeed tyres also suggest diligent care has been bestowed upon it.

A true event to drive, this Azure is an iron fist in the softest of velvet gloves, and it oozes style—a very fine way to cover ground.

Dans quelque cadre que ce soit, peu de voitures peuvent rivaliser d'allure avec la Bentley Azure, d'autant que c'est une voiture qui arbore d'élégantes harmonies de teintes. Et aucune de celles-ci n'est aussi intemporelle que celle de l'exemplaire proposé, bleu Peacock Pearl assorti à un intérieur en cuir beige Sandstone et bleu Royal Blue, que viennent compléter des garnissages en loupe de noyer et une attrayante calandre découpée au laser. Il n'est donc pas étonnant que Bentley ait retenu pour les photos du dossier de presse une configuration très voisine de celle-ci et qu'il ait renoncé aux garnissages proposés ensuite par Mulliner, qui pouvaient nuire au classicisme de la ligne que Pininfarina avait créée en ôtant son pavillon à la Continental R.

Cette voiture a été livrée neuve en 1998 par Straight Eight New Forest Bentley et n'a parcouru depuis que moins de 18 500 km. Elle est dans un merveilleux état ; son magnifique intérieur ne présente que très peu de traces d'usure, sa capote est dans un état remarquable et sa peinture est toujours éclatante. On peut déduire de la présence des pneus Avon Turbospeed, bien adaptés et rarement montés, qu'elle a bénéficié des meilleurs soins.

Conduire cette Azure est un évènement en soi : c'est une main de fer dans un gant de velours, qui respire l'élégance – une façon très raffinée de parcourir les routes.
