Second Aston Martin in Colombo

Sri Lanka does not have any suitable tracks for a luxury racing car such as Aston Martin
A brand new Aston Martin car has been hurriedly imported to Colombo by a wealthy businessman, BBC Sandeshaya reliably learns.

The new SLR 55 million sports car has been brought using a specially chartered aeroplane from UK.

Former Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) chairman Upali Dharmadasa neither confirmed nor denied that he brought the new luxury vehicle, thought to be only the second Aston Martin in the country.

“Please don't ask me about personal things of mine,” Mr Dharmadasa who admitted he was in the airport’s air cargo division at Colombo’s airport told BBC Sandeshaya.

Currently Sri Lanka does not have any suitable tracks for a luxury racing car such as Aston Martin.

Sports Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage who dissolved the SLC interim committee on Tuesday has appointed ministry secretary as the competent authority until the elections are held.

“Ask me any question related to cricket,” an irritated Mr Dharmadasa added when asked about the Aston Martin.

While Mr Dharmadasa has already expressed his willingness to contest for the presidency in the cash-strapped SLC no other contender had so far expressed interest.
