Comments from the seller
12/1996 Build, 1997 Delivered Bentley Azure Blue Badge by Pininfarina
One of the rarest cars on the road with only 1403 built between 1995-2003
365PS 6.75 V8 Turbo
Originally costing over £215,000 new in 1996 factoring in for inflation this is over $1,000,000 today
This particular car was exported new to the USA, it was held by a private collector and sold in the 2008 Scottsdale Auction for $165,000 USD
The car was purchased by the Kuwait Royal Family as a gift for a Prince, upon arrival the factory British Racing Green was deemed not flashy enough so a layer of clear coat was added with allegedly real silver flakes. The car also had fitted a new factory supplied set of chrome option 17” wheels. This makes the car shimmer like a diamond in the sun and is incredible to see in the flesh
The car was then sold to a Dubai businessman around 2018 where it was used only by his wife occasionally. The car has been very well maintained by a renowned British car specialist in the UAE with service records
I purchased the car in 2024 and used the car for sometime in the Middle East before shipping it to Australia
The car has 11,000 original miles. Drives extremely well and looks stunning. Has had approximately 70,000AED spent on maintenance since 2018
A rare collectors item and still one of the most iconic convertibles ever made
A solid investment with future appreciation to a wider market being LHD
