             'Formula 
              Plus Sri Lanka Motor Show' 
               
              Sri Lanka Insurance joins hands with the Ceylon Motor Traders Association 
              and the Classic Car Club of Ceylon to produce 'The Motor Show ' 
              of the year at the BMICH from 20th -22nd of May 2005. "This 
              will be the 5th show by CMTA since 1993 and we hope to take it to 
              international standards" said Mr. Mana Jayawardene, President 
              - Classic Car Club of Ceylon at a Press conference held recently 
              in Colombo. He also added that "This show will be one of a 
              kind with a blend of old and new cars on exhibition, and the only 
              country in the world to have such a show". There will also 
              be a display of vehicle accessories and vehicle related products 
              and services. 
             Moreover, 
              the Classic Car Club of Ceylon estimates that there will be around 
              90-100 vintage vehicles at this year's show. SLI too hopes to attract 
              a wider public interest for its newly launched Formula Plus motor 
              insurance policy. SLI also plans to have a stall at this motor show 
              enabling any visitor to the show to obtain a Formula Plus policy 
              or address any concerns they may have regarding their SLI motor 
              insurance policy. 
             However, 
              this years show sees the phasing out of the zinc stall system in 
              favour of a motor show spread over two exhibition stalls. This is 
              expected to give the show a much needed international flavour and 
              will be a first for any motor show conducted in Sri Lanka, so far, 
              and is expected to draw a widespread audience.  |
