Description
1999 BENTLEY AZURE French version Chassis: SCBZK15E5XCX61727 French vehicle registration document Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1995, the Bentley Azure succeeded the Continental Convertible, which was closely related to the Rolls-Royce Corniche. Developed on the basis of the Continental R in collaboration with Pininfarina, it offers an open-top take on grand touring that evokes journeys along the Côte d’Azur. Its V8 engine, stated in the text as producing 385 ch (to be confirmed), powers a convertible weighing approximately 2.6 tonnes. Its positioning was firmly at the top end of the market. However, the launch price of £347,000 excluding options, as stated in the text, requires verification of the currency and market in question. For this first generation, Bentley states that 1,311 units were produced between 1995 and 2003, a figure that differs from the 1,403 cars sold between 1995 and 2002 originally mentioned. This particular car was delivered new to its first owner in 1999. Its leather-trimmed interior and soft top are in keeping with the tradition of Bentley convertibles. The colours of the bodywork, upholstery and soft top remain to be confirmed: the sentence intended to describe their combination is incomplete. The text also highlights the car’s extensive range of features, without specifying the individual items. The current owner acquired it in 2018 through a dealer in Le Touquet. At that time, the soft top had just been serviced by Garage Auberval, a specialist in the make, at a cost of over €6,000. The tyres were replaced in 2023, followed by the electric seat adjustment mechanism in 2024. In April 2026, Altone garage replaced the steering rack for €2,800. The most recent MOT report does not mention any major faults. This Azure captures the character of the great British convertibles of the 1990s. With the top down, it invites you to take your time on the journey, surrounded by the ambience of a leather interior and the rhythm of its V8 engine. 1999 Bentley Azure British version Chassis number: SCBZK15E5XCX61727 French registration document Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1995, the Bentley Azure succeeded the Continental Convertible, a model related to the Rolls-Royce Corniche. Developed from the Continental R with Pininfarina’s involvement, it offered an approach to open-top grand touring that evokes journeys along the French Riviera. Its V8, quoted in the supplied text as 385 PS – with the unit of measurement requiring confirmation – powered a convertible weighing approximately 2.6 tonnes. The Azure occupied the upper end of the luxury market. The stated launch price of £347,000 before options requires verification of both the currency and the relevant market. For this first generation, Bentley records 1,311 cars built between 1995 and 2003, rather than the 1,403 cars sold between 1995 and 2002 stated in the original text. This example was delivered new to its first owner in 1999. Its leather-trimmed interior and soft top reflect Bentley’s convertible heritage.

At that time, the soft top had recently been serviced by the brand specialist Garage Auberval at a cost of more than €6,000.

The latest French roadworthiness test records no major defects. This Azure offers the chance to rediscover the character of a large British convertible from the 1990s. With the soft top down, it invites its next owner to enjoy a leisurely drive, surrounded by leather and accompanied by the sound of its V8 engine.
