Pericles Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Dilesh said: ye thet are originally LHD....the very first time they were advertised in the paper (21 million) the H2s were being converted to RHD in australia and brought down... the black one Mr. Jayasooriya has, has been brought down from england, so i'm guessing the conversion was done there I thought they had a BOI thing going here to convert to RHD to send it to Aussie, not the other way around?

ruwds Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 wht I have seen on the papers some time <a bit of a long time maybe 2003 or 2004 > was that the hummers were converted in Australia. The add at that time said 180 lakhs without tax in rupees < as far as i remeber > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umar Ali Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Morgoth said: But then where is this BOI thing? Anyone have a clue? There is a BOI plant in Peyliyagoda which converts Hummers from Left hand drive to right hand drive.. Cos i met the owner who does this and he is Arjuna Ranatunga's cousin.. His name is Suresh Edirisinghe if u have seen a Black Cadillac by the way tats his and also he own the comet cable co. Wen i met him he told me tat they convert the Hummers frm LHD to RHD and export them to England, Australia and New Zealand.. Wen i met him in November he told me that he was goin to launch the H2 in sl local market in December at the starting price of 20 million incl tax.. but i don't think he actually launched it and i havent been in touch with him since i have been in japan.. so i will find from him whether he actualy launched the Hummer wen i com back to sl this month..

Wow ok so there is such a place then. But is there a particular reason why they only convert Hummers? Any idea if they're planning to convert any other LHD vehicles in future?

Morgoth Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I guess he means the Lincoln Navigator. But why bring huuuge bling SUV's when there probably will be a better market for sports cars?(eg a Mustang ) Although maybe its not easy to conver those. Are we going to have Hummers, Navigators and Escalades crushing us on the streets? Yea I don't like SUV's all that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dihan Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 2 Black H2s? r u guys sure???????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchman Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 well, how is the conversion done in SL? as in ok mechanicaly mighr be posible.. but things like the plasticwork.. the dash to be exact.. i dont think you can just mould it right? i too think there'll be a bigger market for US sports cars than big SUVs... cos if i were given a choice between a mustang and a navigator, i'd say mustang.. btw, has anyone got a look ay the 2nd black H2 (Sumal Perera's one) ?

Well they sure seem to know what theyre doing. wonder if the SL conversion place pays as much attention to detail. Damn it just struck me how many things in the interior really need to be changed wen doing these convertsions when i read this "Gear shift moved to right with "PNRD123" moved over also." "Windscreen wipers changed over to right hand sweep" "Reprogrammed door switches allowing the correct windows to open with the correct switch" "Make sure you ask your dealer if they can match all these points !"

Yah. When it starts raining only you will realize that driver side of windshiled is not wiped and you are trying to close the wrong window.
