The Azure continues to be a popular choice amongst classic Bentley fans thanks to its luxurious interior, smooth yet powerful 390bhp turbocharged V8 and commanding presence. Despite its size though the big Bentley is surprisingly easy to drive, allowing you to waft along at your leisure whilst taking in all of the admiring glances from passers by.
Eye-wateringly expensive when new, a decent Azure can be had for a fraction of its original cost nowadays and this particularly handsome convertible, resplendent in its Midnight Blue Metallic paintwork over Magnolia leather interior, still cuts quite the dash.
Not only does it look good but it also appears to be mechanically sound and fastidiously maintained and comes with full Bentley service history from new with the original stamped service book and detailed invoices. It's a low mileage example too, having covered just 44K since new.
As far as second hand Bentleys go you could do a hell of a lot worse than this '97 Azure then. An honest, usable example it's a rare beast to boot, with only 243 right-hand drive examples ever built so if you're after a relatively inexpensive modern classic Bentley in decent shape that you won't be scared to actually drive then call off the search.image.png2.11 MB
