Bentley Azure LHD

In an era when excess still had style and gentlemen had their watches set at Patek to match the delivery time of their Bentley, the Azure was born. This is not a convertible. This is a rolling estate. A 5.34-meter-long performance of British grandeur, hand-built in Crewe and equipped with everything that is good, heavy, and delightful.

Beneath the imposing hood lies the renowned 6.75-liter V8 with turbo, producing 389 HP—combining the torque of a freight train with the refinement of a gentlemen’s club in Mayfair. Sprinting is un-British, but should the need arise: 0 to 100 km/h takes just 6.5 seconds.

The Azure Mk1 was built between 1995 and 2003 and cost more than an average house at the time. It is the last Bentley to be truly built by hand—before the Volkswagen era. Featuring Connolly leather and walnut wood throughout. The exterior is finished in Peacock Mica, complemented by a Blue Cloth roof, while the interior boasts Cotswold and French Navy Hide in combination with Dark Blue Wilton Carpets. A combination undoubtedly approved by the Queen.

This particular example is the pinnacle among the 1,085 Azure Mk1s ever built. Originally delivered in Fort Lauderdale, where an American with taste and style ordered it new. Not long after, the Azure moved with a German expat to Germany. There, it was eventually noticed and purchased by none other than Gijs Veerman— the Bentley specialist of the Netherlands.

For the past six years, this car has been his personal pride, used exclusively for an average of 1,500 kilometers per year—mostly trips with the Bentley Drivers Club to England. During that time, he brought the car to a level that can only be achieved with experience, passion, and craftsmanship: perfected.

Furthermore, its history is mouthwatering: fully documented from day one, including the original order form, delivery report, and complete service history. Everything is right; everything has always been right. Will we see you soon?

Crafted, not constructed. Driven, not used. Bentley.
