Using supercars or luxury vehicles to grab attention for grand openings, weddings, or parties is not a new phenomenon, but a Hanoi businessman’s unique approach to attracting customers to his pho restaurant is certainly a rare sight.
Specifically, this entrepreneur has been using a Bentley Continental Flying Spur as a long-standing attraction outside his restaurant, with a large ‘Pho Ga’ (chicken pho) decal on its doors. The car has been sitting on the sidewalk, exposed to the elements for years.
Hanoi Businessman Uses Bentley as a Prop for His Pho Restaurant, Sparking Mixed Reactions
But that’s not all—the interior of the car has been utilized as storage space, resulting in significant wear and tear on the driver’s seat, which is now covered in oil stains. It appears that the car is no longer roadworthy, which might explain its unusual usage.
The Bentley Continental Flying Spur is a luxury car that initially cost over 10 billion VND when new. However, this particular car has been reduced to a prop for the restaurant, and its interior has been used for storage, causing dismay to those who appreciate the value of such a vehicle.
Additionally, the front hood of the Bentley cannot be closed properly, and while the rims and tires look new, the windshield lacks an inspection sticker, and the car has no license plate. Nonetheless, the dashboard’s white leather appears pristine.
The first-generation Bentley Continental Flying Spur is equipped with a 6.0-liter W12 twin-turbo engine that produces 552 horsepower at 6,100 rpm and 650 Nm of torque at 1,600 rpm. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
