Rolls Royce on a Roll?

Luxury automaker Rolls-Royce is defying the gloomy economic mood, forecasting Asian sales to triple to 450 vehicles this year and opening a new dealership in Malaysia.

But why Malaysia? Who would buy this car? Perhaps some sultans or visiting dignitary such as the Sultan of Brunei.

Anyway, I think it is a good place to showpiece British engineering as an academic exercise.
