BENTLEY AZURE - WIDE BODY - 1 OF 23 RHD - STUNNING - JUST 22K MILES FROM NEW ! 2001

THE ULTIMATE AZURE ! Extremely rare ever to see a factory wide body Azure to come onto the open market. One of just 23 examples built in RHD. The standard Azure was launched in 1995, hailed as the worlds best convertible. It wasn't until 1999 the Wide Body version was launched at the Geneva Motor Show, costing the thick end of £300k depending on specification. Wide Bodied cars came with a similar spec to the Continental T, with Red Starter button, offset gear selector and usually with turned alloy finish to facia and door cappings. This car, originally supplied by Bentley main agents Straight Eight of the New Forrest has lived a sheltered life in the South of England's warmer climes. The underside which I have taken detailed pictures of is testament to this. Never seen salt, and the factory clear wax is just as if it left the factory a couple of years ago. After 20 years, barely a trace of corrosion to be detected anywhere. Even the spare wheel has never been off its carrier, and the rear coil spring still carries its factory label applied at time of build. The underbonnet area is just as nice, with clips and fasteners like the day they were fitted. The car has recently received a multi point check over and service with the local Bentley specialist, and had 4 new factory spec Pirelli Asimetrico tyres fitted. Servicing has been carried out at 0.2,5,11,15,20,21 and 22k miles. Last serviced less than 200 miles ago. A low ownership car, been in the hands of the last owner for over 13 years. An original factory letter to the original owner along with a Bentley Heritage certificate and previous servicing invoices accompanies in the history file. Factory book pack, small and large tools and both sets of keys and remotes are present. A new set of lambswool rugs are fitted to the frontal area. A highly desirable, rare and very collectable model, unlikely ever to be worth less. May P/X (Registration not included)
