Bentley lovers rejoice — unique Texas museum is home to 200+ cars and admission is free
The Bentley Azure was the distinguished successor to the Continental Convertible, designed to elevate Bentley’s reputation beyond gentlemanly luxury and into the realm of automotive celebrity status. Developed in collaboration with the renowned Italian design house Pininfarina, the Azure took over two years to perfect before its grand unveiling in March 1995 at the Geneva Motor Show.
Every aspect of Azure’s creation reflected world-class craftsmanship. The shell and soft top were meticulously constructed at Pininfarina’s Cambiano factory before final assembly was completed at Bentley’s legendary Crewe facility. Produced between 1995 and 2003, this particular example is believed to be one of only 71 built for the 2002 model year, making it a truly rare sight to behold.
Under the hood, the Azure commands attention with a Rolls-Royce/Bentley 6.75-liter V8, enhanced by an intercooled Garrett turbocharger. With an impressive 385 horsepower, this grand touring convertible defies expectations. Despite weighing over 5,400 pounds, the Azure boasts an exhilarating 0-60 mph time of just 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 160 mph—figures that defined high-performance luxury in its era.
A true testament to Pininfarina’s masterful design, this Azure’s elegant color scheme accentuates the striking coachwork that transformed the Continental R into this remarkable four-seater convertible. Offering unmatched refinement, power, and comfort, the 2002 Bentley Azure is a vehicle that commands attention both on the road and in the museum.
Now on display at the DFW Car & Toy Museum, this rare Bentley joins a collection of over 200 legendary automobiles, promising an unforgettable visit for classic car enthusiasts and luxury aficionados alike. With free admission and a dog-friendly environment, guests are invited to experience automotive history up close.
