(from Bentley Press Release) With typical Bentley understatement the styling of the new Continental Flying Spur is both evolutionary and subtly effective.

Now, the owner of a HCM City-based company, specializing in producing construction materials, has decided to shell out eight billion VND to purchase the Bentley Continental GT, a model commemorating the 60th anniversary of Bentley’s factory. The beige Bentley Continental GT reached Vietnam on December 26 and was ordered by a Vietnamese car importer through a US dealer more than a few months ago.
