Before an imported limo can be registered, it has to satisfy the DVLA that it complies fully with stringent EU type approval safety tests. In the past,  Hummer limos have been unable to comply with this safety test for a number of reasons and have been registered in many different ways in order to avoid these safety tests.

At Jet Set Limousines, we believe first and foremost in passenger safety and have never looked at skirting these important safety issues. Rather than buy a Hummer that does not fully comply, we decided to work with the coachbuilders agents to supply a Hummer limo which does comply. And last Friday (September 7th 2007), our brand new Hummer sailed through it’s SVA test.

This is exciting news for the whole industry and means that the new H3 Hummer limo will take pride of place as the centrepeice on Krystal UK’s trade stand at the European Limousine and Chauffeur show being held at the NEC next week.

Immediately after the show, we will finally bring the car back to Blackpool in Lancashire where it will join the rest of our limo fleet.

 The vehicle is available for hire from 22/9/07 onwards
