2000 BENTLEY AZURE MULLINER “SYMBOLIC EDITION”
Vehicle registration document: French
Chassis number: SCBZK25E7YCX62059
• Rare “Symbolic Edition” variant, bespoke-built by the Mulliner department, with only 19 registered examples
• Ultra-limited edition (Dealer Limited Edition) with only 4 examples built in the year 2000
• Sought-after Mulliner Wide Body version combining the Umbrian Red paint finish with a Cotswold Hide leather interior featuring the Sea Order Deviation finish
• Top-of-the-range specification featuring the specific Mulliner layout, bespoke trim elements and instrumentation derived from the Continental T
• Luxurious presentation combining bespoke upholstery, refined marquetry with inlaid emblems, commemorative plaques on the engine and door sills, and exclusive details
• Only 24,000 miles on the clock.
Unveiled in 1995 and designed in collaboration with Pininfarina, the Bentley Azure convertible represents the ultimate expression of open-top grand touring from the Crewe-based manufacturer. In its Mulliner-enhanced version, the model features a Wide Body body with slightly widened wings, a stiffer suspension set-up and increased power from the 6.75-litre turbocharged V8 engine, tuned to deliver 420 chevaux and 875 Nm of torque.
At the request of the renowned US dealership Symbolic Motor Car Company, Bentley and its bespoke customisation division, Mulliner, have developed the highly exclusive limited-edition ‘Symbolic Edition ’ (Dealer Limited Edition – DLE), characterised by a range of bespoke features and a bespoke finish on the dashboard, centre console and wood trim. Offered with additional options costing $69,000, which brought its original price to $429,000, it was one of the most expensive cars of its time.
The example shown here is a 2000 model in the Mulliner ‘Symbolic Edition’ version, one of only four produced that year. It is distinguished by its specific badges and logos, its exclusive interior finishes in inlaid precious wood and bespoke two-tone leather upholstery, as well as its commemorative identification plaque affixed to the engine and the door sill.
According to its Carfax report, this car was delivered new by the San Diego Luxury Motors dealership. It was regularly serviced within the official network by its first Californian owner, before being imported to Quebec in 2005 when it had 7,000 miles on the clock. Rigorously maintained in Quebec until 2011, the car is now based in France, where it holds a valid French registration certificate and has passed its roadworthiness test.
Retaining its original specification in Umbrian Red with Cotswold Hide leather, the vehicle now has 24,000 original miles (approximately 40,000 km) on the clock. The entire bodywork, electric soft top, interior trim and mechanical components are in excellent condition, reflecting the high standards of hand-built craftsmanship at the Crewe factory.
With only four examples produced in 2000 by the Mulliner bespoke division, this Bentley Azure Mulliner ‘Symbolic Edition’ embodies the very essence of bespoke luxury and represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most exclusive and desirable convertibles from the brand’s modern era.

Unveiled in 1995 and styled in collaboration with Pininfarina, the Bentley Azure represents the ultimate expression of open-top grand touring from the Crewe-based manufacturer. In the upgraded Mulliner specification, the model featured flared Wide Body wheel arches, stiffer suspension tuning, and a more powerful 6.75-litre turbocharged V8 producing 420 hp and 875 Nm of torque.
At the request of the renowned US dealership Symbolic Motor Car Company, Bentley and its bespoke Mulliner division crafted the highly exclusive “Symbolic Edition” Dealer Limited Edition (DLE), distinguished by personalised features and bespoke finishes across the dashboard, centre console and woodwork. With additional options totalling $69,000—bringing its original list price to $429,000—it was among the most expensive cars of its era.
The example offered here is a 2000 model year Mulliner “Symbolic Edition”, one of only four built that year. It features distinctive badges and logos, custom inlaid fine-wood trim, two-tone leather accents, and commemorative plaque badges on both the engine and door sills.
According to its Carfax report, this car was delivered new by San Diego Luxury Motors. It underwent routine servicing at an authorised dealer whilst owned by its first owner in California before being imported to Quebec in 2005 with 7,000 miles on the clock. Meticulously maintained in Quebec until 2011, the car is now based in France, complete with French registration and a valid roadworthiness certificate (CT).
Retaining its factory-original Umbrian Red paintwork over Cotswold Hide leather, the car today has just 24,000 original miles (approx. 40,000 km) on the clock. The bodywork, power soft top, interior upholstery and mechanical running gear are all in beautifully preserved condition, reflecting Crewe’s finest handcrafted standards.
One of only four produced by Mulliner for the 2000 model year, this Bentley Azure Mulliner ‘Symbolic Edition’ embodies the pinnacle of bespoke luxury and represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most exclusive modern-era Bentley convertibles.
