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 2020 Bentley Flying Spur has 3-D wood now, and it looks spectacular

Thu, Jul 23 2020

This is the coolest wood you’re going to see today. We promise. Bentley is now manufacturing something it calls “Three-Dimensional Wood.” And yes, all wood we come into contact with is 3-D, but this stuff pops out at you like people and items do in a 3-D movie. YouÂ’ll find it in the rear door inserts of the Bentley Flying Spur, assuming the owner checked the box. One look at the photos will have you going, “how the Â… ?” Yes, itÂ’s pretty wild to see, and we can imagine the effect it has in person is even stronger. Bentley did explain how it made wood look like the diamond-quilted leather it uses in its seats, though. As one would expect from Bentley, itÂ’s a hell of a process.  Each rear door and quarter panel is crafted out of a single block of wood. Bentley uses either American Walnut or American Cherry timber. They start by machining the back of the log to match a die-cast aluminum door panel template. ItÂ’s bonded to the template, and then the difficult work begins. Skilled craftspeople carve the wood to its three-dimensional surface with a multi-axis routing machine to a tolerance of 0.1 mm. They then hand finish the cuts to achieve perfect results. Finally, a lacquer is applied to attain the color and texture that Bentley desires. Left: EXP 10 Speed 6 Concept; Right: Production Flying Spur pattern This design of wood was first seen in a Bentley concept from 2015. It was called the Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 (shown above, left). After the positive reaction to that design, Bentley says it felt a production adaptation was in order.  “Three-Dimensional Wood is the next interior design element weÂ’ve taken from concept car idea to production reality,” Brett Boydell, Head of Interior Design for the Flying Spur said. “It works in perfect harmony with the three-dimensional leather quilting across the cabin of the Flying Spur and creates an even more special environment for those being driven.” If you were to count the number of carved diamonds in the wood, youÂ’d come to a total of 150 in the Flying Spur. As of now, the big sedan is the only Bentley this option is available in. We wouldnÂ’t be surprised if it expanded to others in the future. In addition to that, this is a design that could be translated into lesser luxury cars using cheaper processes and 3-D printing. Bring on the 3-D wood. Related Video:    

Bentley announces its fifth model will debut May 10

Fri, Apr 29 2022

Bentley announced it would debut "a fifth model" on Tuesday, May 10 to join the Continental GT, Continental GTC, Flying Speed and Bentayga. The notice included all kinds of wordplay suggesting extra length and roominess, Crewe members having "gone to new lengths" on the "long-awaited" vehicle that will bring "an extra dimension of on-board wellness," and so on. We can't be certain of what's coming, but we're willing to place a large wager that it's the extended-wheelbase Bentayga. A prototype of the stretched family conveyance with an enlarged wheelbase and grandiose rear doors was caught testing at various points throughout 2021. And the door card in the teaser vid matches that of the Bentayga, not that of the only other four-door Bentley makes, the Flying Spur. Step inside. 12:30 BST, 10.5.2022 pic.twitter.com/4H7YENbtTz — Bentley Motors (@BentleyMotors) April 29, 2022 We don't know how much additional knee space Bentley will grant to back-seat VIP types; were this another era, we're sure Bentley would never quantify it beyond "more ample." We'll find out on May 10. There could be other changes in store for the variant as well, the automaker promising "a breadth of capabilities beyond anything previously offered." If the teaser is correct, there's a nifty shade of purple on the way, too. Related video:

Bentley Flying Spur breaches in Beluga spec

Fri, Jun 19 2015

Bentley did what it could to improve the styling on the Flying Spur, but if you're still of the impression that it's still a bit of a whale in its form, you may want to check out the new Beluga Specification. Available now to order on the eight-cylinder Flying Spur worldwide, the Beluga Specification features a number of upgrades designed to make Crewe's sedan look and feel more "athletic" inside and out. A unique set of 20-inch wheels and a gloss black grille distinguish the exterior, while the cabin is treated to piano black veneer, knurled shift paddles, contrast stitching, and finer carpets. Those looking to splurge (this is a Bentley, after all) can combine this package with the Mulliner Driving Specification and get 21-inch wheels along with other interior upgrades. Related Video: NEW BENTLEY FLYING SPUR BELUGA SPECIFICATION Jun 18, 2015 - New optional specification affords luxury four-door sedan an enhanced athletic stance - Striking exterior and interior styling cues boost visual appeal - Features 20" alloys, gloss black radiator and cabin styling highlights - Available exclusively on 4.0-litre twin-turbo Flying Spur V8 models (Crewe, 18 June, 2015) Bentley Motors is launching a new specification level exclusively for its Flying Spur V8 model – Beluga Specification. The contemporary trim level affords the Flying Spur sedan a more athletic stance and purposeful visual appeal. Featuring exclusive 20" Black and Bright machined alloy wheels, a gloss black radiator matrix and a body-coloured lower grille bar, the Beluga specification is the perfect enhancement for a modern performance saloon that perfectly blends craft and comfort. Inside the Flying Spur V8's sumptuous handcrafted cabin, buyers will find swathes of piano black veneer, knurled gear shift paddles, contrast stitching to the luxurious seats and steering wheel as well as deep pile floor mats and boot carpet with contrasting leather binding. When customers also specify the highly popular Mulliner Driving Specification, in combination with Beluga specification, the striking 21" 6-spoke Extrovert wheel is included. The Mulliner Driving Specification includes features such as diamond quilted hides, a knurled gear lever, drilled alloy pedals and an indented hide headlining. In 4.0-litre, twin-turbo V8 guise it develops 507 PS (500 bhp), sprinting from 0-60 mph in just 4.9 seconds (0-100km/h in 5.2 seconds) while at the same time offering a single-tank range of 500 miles.
