2008 Bentley Azure

This 2008 Bentley Azure is a Beluga-over-Beluga example that has just under 10k miles following the seller’s acquisition in February 2019. The convertible is powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.75-liter V8 paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and it was specified from the factory with lower front wing vents, chromed 19″ alloy wheels, an electronically controlled adaptive suspension, multi-zone climate control, heated and massaging front seats, Park Distance Control, a reversing camera, and a pop-up navigation screen. This Azure is now offered with three keys, manufacturer’s literature, a window sticker, a Carfax report, and a clean Louisiana title in the name of the seller’s LLC. Lower front wing vents were optioned, and the Beluga-finished exterior is also complemented by a retractable Bentley “Flying B” hood ornament, a stainless-steel front grille, xenon headlights, and a color-coordinated power-operated soft top with a heated rear glass window. An accident with another motor vehicle is indicated in a November 2011 Carfax report entry, although no further information is provided. The seller notes that a door ding has been touched up, and two areas of paint inconsistencies are shown in the image gallery below. Optional chromed 19″ alloy wheels feature Bentley center caps and were mounted with 255/45 Pirelli P Zero tires in February 2019. The Azure rides on an electronically controlled adaptive suspension, and stopping power is provided by ventilated disc brakes. Beluga leather trims the seats and extends to the dashboard, armrests, and door panel inserts while burl walnut wood veneers adorn the cabin. The heated and massaging front seats have position memory settings, and passengers are also provided with multi-zone climate control, a period carphone, a pop-up navigation screen, and an Alpine sound system linked with a trunk-mounted CD changer. A remote is located in the right front footwell. The right front seat switch was replaced in January 2019, and there is a tear in the leather dashboard panel above the instrumentation. Drilled alloy pedals and a wood-and-leather-trimmed steering wheel are presented to the driver, while driving aids include Park Distance Control and a reversing camera. Instrumentation consists of a central digital display flanked by a 190-mph speedometer and a tachometer, while an analog clock and supplementary gauges are mounted in the center stack. The digital odometer indicates less than 10k miles, approximately 2k of which have been added under current ownership. The twin-turbocharged 6.75-liter V8 was factory rated at 450 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed ZF automatic transmission featuring sequential shift control. The window sticker lists initial delivery to Bentley Providence of Warwick, Rhode Island, along with factory equipment, options, and a total suggested retail price of $352,425. Manufacturer’s literature and three keys are also included in the sale. The Carfax report shows the aforementioned 2011 accident and lists history in Rhode Island, New York, and Louisiana.
