Cars: Azure (Introduced 1995)

On 7 March 1995, at the Geneva Motor Show, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Ltd unveiled a convertible version of the
Continental R, which it called the Bentley Azure.

This was the first first entirley new convertible since 1967.
The much acclaimed Continental R lines were superbly adapted to convertible form with the assistance of
Pininfarina of Italy, arguably the world leaders in convertible styling. Chris Woodwark, the then newly appointed Chief Executive of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Ltd (replacing Peter Ward)
was delighted with this first new model following his appointment :"We have shown how we continue to develop new
models that exceed the highest expectations of our customers and set new standards at the peak of the performance
and luxury market. Great credit is due to the Bentley design team at Crewe and our colleagues at Pininfarina.
We believe this to be the most exciting product announcement in recent years. It represents another major step
forward for this company, and one in which we can all take great pride."
