THE OVERVIEW Offered for an appreciating new owner is exquisite classic 1996 Bentley Azure Convertible! Finished in royal blue metallic over pearl beige leather, this EXCEPTIONAL Bentley convertible has been driven just over 28,200 miles since purchased new. It sports a great running 6.75 liter [412 cubic inch] turbocharged aluminum V8 engine with water-cooled inter-cooler and ZYTEK EMS 3 computer-controlled engine management system. The ensuing results is 400-horsepower and a whopping 553 foot-pounds of torque enabling this 5400 pound motor car to hit 60 miles per hour in about 6 seconds and continuing on to its limited top speed of 150 miles per hour! It almost goes without saying that the car is loaded with amenities that include an electronically controlled tilt steering column that is linked to preset positions of the driver's seat and mirrors.along with electric windows and mirrors, fully insulated power top, chrome alloy wheels with excellent Pirelli rubber, new high-end Alpine audio system and original owner's manuals. This gorgeous Azure just received a professional detail, 100 point inspection and complete service including valve cover gaskets, battery, power steering hoses and power top RAMs.This is a great value offered here for a fraction of the new price of $369,000. THE BODY AND TRIM The exterior of this 1996 Pinanfarina-designed Azure is in excellent to mint 99.9% rust-free condition overall with a gleaming overall metallic paint finish. There are a few minor cosmetic imperfections one would expect from a 20+ year-old low-mileage car that include rock nicks/chips and other light blemishes. There is some orange peel on the paint surface of the rear emblem strip. THE INTERIOR As I hope is articulated in the photos here, the interior of this non-smoker Bentley is in excellent , near-new condition overall with nearly all systems in excellent working order with COLD a/c, buttery soft leather and more. One or more of the electric controls on the passenger seat are currently inop. It did not get any more luxurious than this in 1996! THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE This 1996 Bentley starts right up with excellent running engine producing 747-like torque, buttery smooth shifting transmission, solid braking, precise steering, excellent highway tracking and ultra quiet and smooth suspension. Driving this car topless on a warm sunny day is truly a MOTORING EVENT! THE DETAILS AND $$$$$ 1.
