Description

Warranted 38, 380 miles from new Specified in the attractive combination of Silver Lake Blue Metallic over Cream Leather Desirable second generation Azure with 6.75 Litre twin-turbo engine The Bentley Azure was launched in 1995 and based on the platform of the Continental R coup which had been launched in 1991. Volkswagen purchased Bentley from Vickers in 1998, three years into production of the MkI model. Volkswagen executives decided to keep the then current Azure in production until 2003. Production of the new Azure began for the 2006 model year. Now based on the Arnage platform, power came from the then current variant of the Bentley turbocharged V8 making 450hp and 645lbft of torque. The new Arnage was designed for the BMW 4.4-litre engine. However, due to strained relationships between the two manufacturers, Volkswagen was forced to significantly re-work the original 6.75-litre Rolls-Royce/Bentley V8 engine in 2001, including a switch from the old single-turbo system to a modern twin-turbocharger set-up, reducing turbo-lag and increasing horsepower output. A new, model-specific six-speed automatic transmission fed power to the rear wheels. Bentley claimed a 0 to 60 time of 5.6 seconds and a top speed of 168mph, slightly faster than the previous edition and still very good for a vehicle of this size and weight. This stunning Bentley Azure was first registered on the 18th October 2006 with the registration 'FJ56 PKD'. We are of the understanding that the car has covered a mere 38, 380 miles from new, which is supported by the MOT and service history on file with the car. The original service stamp book appears to have been lost as the car spent a very brief spell in the United States from what we can see (which must have been less than 15 months as the mileage stated on the receipts for hood motor repairs at Bentley Las Vegas and Beverley Hills is in-between two UK MOTs for January 2014 and May 2015. There is an original owner's handbook and service documentation since that period, also on file. We can see that there are Bentley main dealer services in the UK at 26, 771 miles, 30, 426 miles and 34, 164 miles, with a further more recent service with an unstated mileage at GT Services of Cheshire.
