Azure

The open road. The open skies. The Azure. Originally launched in 1995, and subsequently followed by the second generation in 2006, the Azure is a convertible that was unmatched, in its time, in performance and potency and one that is truly evocative.

Freedom symbolised by the Flying ‘B’ radiator mascot proudly installed atop that famous radiator grille. An iconic piece of sculpture reinterpreted for the new century.
