This 2003 Bentley Azure Mulliner Widebody is one of 62 Final Series Performance examples produced to commemorate the end of the first-generation Azure’s production run. The car is powered by a turbocharged 6.75-liter V8 linked to a four-speed automatic transmission and is finished in blue over saddle leather. Equipment includes widebody-specific bodywork, a power-retractable blue convertible soft top, quad headlights, a mesh front grille, fender vents, 18″ polished split five-spoke alloy wheels, heated and power-adjustable front seats, burl walnut interior trim, and automatic climate control. The selling dealer acquired the car in 2024, and it has 7,400 miles. This Azure Mulliner is now offered in Thousand Oaks, California, with a clean Montana title.
The first generation Azure was developed in collaboration with Pininfarina and was based on the Continental R. The Azure’s bodywork and convertible top were built by Pininfarina in Italy and then transported to the UK for final assembly at Crewe. This example is finished in blue and features widebody-specific side skirts, wheel arch flares, front fender vents, and bumper covers. Additional exterior details include a power-retractable blue convertible soft top, quad headlights, a mesh front grille, fender vents, and dual exhaust outlets. There is a scratch on the driver’s door.
Polished 18″ split five-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with Pirelli P Zero Rosso tires. The car rides on an electronically controlled suspension system, and braking is handled by four-wheel discs at each corner.
The cabin houses heated and power-adjustable front seats and individual rear seats that are upholstered in saddle quilted leather and are accented by burl walnut trim on the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Amenities include wool carpets, front-seat position memory, an Alpine CD stereo, dual Phoenix Gold amplifiers, and automatic climate control. Final Series Performance examples also included a red starter button and additional chrome accents. An indentation on the cabin-surround leather is highlighted in the gallery. Two Bentley-branded umbrellas are secured in the trunk.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a 170-mph speedometer and a 5k-rpm tachometer. Instrumentation housed in the center stack includes an analog clock and outside temperature gauge in addition to gauges for oil pressure, fuel level, turbo boost, coolant temperature, and voltage. The digital odometer on this 2003 Bentley Azure Mulliner Final Series Performance indicates 7,400 miles, a few of which were added under current ownership.
The turbocharged and intercooled 6.75-liter V8 features a single Garrett turbocharger and was factory rated at 420 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque in Mulliner specification.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission.
