This 1998 Bentley Azure is finished in Black Garnet over Parchment leather hides and is powered by a turbocharged 6.75-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission.
The turbocharged and intercooled 6.75L V8 was rated at 385 horsepower and 550 lb-ft of torque when new.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission.
The first generation Azure was developed in collaboration with Pininfarina and based on the Continental R platform.
A total of 209 Bentley Azures were produced for the 1998 model year.
This example is finished in Black Garnet (9540014) and features Garnet and Blue pinstriping, quad headlamps with stainless steel bezels, LeMans style front wing vents, a jeweled fuel filler cap, and a chrome exhaust tip.
The power-operated Maroon soft top was replaced in 2019 along with the top cylinders and hydraulic lines.
Chrome-finished 18″ wheels wear Bentley center caps and are wrapped in 255/50 Pirelli P Zero Rosso tires.
Braking is handled by four-wheel discs.
The interior features seats trimmed in Parchment leather with Wildberry leather accents on the center console, dashboard, door panels, and steering wheel.
The leather upholstery on the seats, door panels, and carpet piping were re-dyed in 2019.
Burl Walnut trim accents the center console, dash, and door panels.
Equipment includes power-adjustable heated front seats with memory function, drilled alloy pedals, air conditioning with upper and lower temperature settings, power windows, and an aftermarket CD stereo.
The two-tone airbag steering wheel frames a 170-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 4,500-rpm redline, and a digital display, while a clock and an outside temperature gauge are housed in the center stack.
The digital odometer indicates 36k miles.
