The title is correct. A Bentley Silver Spur Park Ward Limousine by Mulliner.
Well maybe. It is simply a unique coachbuilt car by Mulliner.

Let's try and work our the name from the VIN of SCBZV19E3XCX80259
SC = Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited, Bentley Motors (1931) Limited
B = Bentley
ZV = Silver Spur Park Ward Limousine
19 = 6.75 Litre V8, low pressure single Garrett turbocharger, catalytic converter OBDlI, non-intercooled
E = Twin airbags witih seat belt pretensioning
3 = Checksum Digit
X = 1999
C = Crewe
X = Left hand drive
80259 = Chassis Serial Number
So saying it is a Bentley Silver Spur Park Ward Limousine by Mulliner is technically correct, but kind of wrong.

It would be more appropriate to call it a Bentley Turbo RL 728, like the Bentley Arnage RL 728

It is even more special as it is a 1999 car and the Bentley Turbo R ceased production in 1998, hence making it one of the last cars of this body shape in existence.

According to the person who was selling the car, it was the private commission of one of the most wealthy women in the world.

Hence the features, such as crystal vases to make the car not faster, but simply better. Better than yours.
