According to the company, the three limousines have already been imported into Sri Lanka and more will be imported in the future according to demand.
Prestige Limousines Chairman Dr. Chaminda Perera said: “I am a huge fan of cars and always keen on upgrading my collection. The next in line to normal sports cars, sedans and SUVs for me was a limo, as I can still remember the fun that my daughter had during her first limo ride when she was two – a luxury available to us in countries such as Australia as opposed to Sri Lanka. Further, considering the need for these luxury vehicles – especially when hosting international events such as the IIFA, I took it as a challenge to be the first to introduce the vehicle to Sri Lanka.”
“At present we only deal with stretch limousines. We are very proud to be the pioneer in this category by launching the first limousines into Sri Lanka. There has been a great response so far from rentals as well as the public,” stated the Chairman. All Prestige limousines are made in the U.S.A., whilst they also import the stretched versions of Mercedes Benz / BMW / Jaguar / Chrysler / Hummer and many more and can build and import any kind of limousine within four to six months. “We are also very proud to be the world’s first owner of the Toyota Prado stretch limousine, which we market in Sri Lanka, Australia and Japan,” he added.
