The name Silver Cloud is not unfamiliar to car enthusiasts in Vietnam, as there has been a rare Silver Cloud I model in the country. The car was manufactured in 1957 and is equipped with a 4.9-liter 6-cylinder engine and a 4-speed automatic transmission.

Most recently, there have been reports that a Vietnamese billionaire has just finalized the purchase of a 1957 Bentley S1. If it comes to Vietnam, this will be the oldest Bentley in the country. Similar to the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud, this Bentley is also equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission. The 4.9-liter 6-cylinder engine enables it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just over 13 seconds.

The Bentley S1 is rumored to be coming to Vietnam.

Vintage supercars bearing the Rolls-Royce and Bentley brands have been increasingly seen in Vietnam in recent years. The prices of these cars are not cheap and are on par with those of new luxury cars. According to the pre-tax prices published by the Ministry of Finance, vintage Bentleys such as the Arnage and Azure are priced at over tens of billions of VND, with the highest price reaching nearly 18 billion VND. The peak is a price of nearly 42 billion VND for a Rolls-Royce Corniche.

The Bentley Arnage is quite popular among car enthusiasts and has been spotted on the streets. The pricing table lists up to 4 versions. The first Arnage R entered Vietnam in 2008 and was bespoke by Mulliner and owned by the owner of Trung Nguyen Coffee. This wealthy individual owns 2 Arnage cars with similar exteriors.

The engine on this car is a 6.8-liter V8 with approximately 325 horsepower and 738 Nm of torque.
