Fabled luxury car maker Rolls-Royce will soon be marketing its goods in one of the world’s poorest countries: Cambodia.
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars announced on Monday that it has joined with a Cambodian business partner to open a showroom in the Cambodian capital next month.
The move comes despite Cambodia’s average per capita annual income, according to the World Bank, being just over £600 - a bit less than one-half of 1 per cent of the cost of the cheapest Rolls-Royce.
However, a small but wealthy elite lives in the capital of the mostly rural nation, and it is not unusual to see various models of high-end Lexus automobiles passing by pedicabs in the city’s dusty streets.
