Toyota Long Mile is proud to announce the launch of its 252 Sales Event, led by Irish rugby star and long-standing Long Mile Brand Ambassador, Andrew Porter. As Porter prepares for the British & Irish Lions tour of Australia this summer, he is championing Toyota Long Mile’s latest offers, which feature Power-Up trade-in boosters of up to €3,000 and low APR rates across Toyota’s award-winning hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric vehicles.
Andrew Porter visited Toyota Long Mile’s headquarters in Dublin 12 during the week he was announced as a member of the British & Irish Lions Squad for the second time in his career. Andrew joined Managing Director, Alex Burns and Brand Manager, Wayne Barrett to help officially launch the new 252 Sales Event. The three were photographed with Andrew’s brand new Toyota Hilux Gr Sport 252 on hand for him to drive away in for the first time.
Andrew Porter, Brand Ambassador, Toyota Long Mile, said:
“I’m really excited to continue my long-standing partnership with Toyota Long Mile who have been one of my longest standing supporters dating right back to my early days in the professional game. I’ve loved the reliability and power of my RAV4 Hybrid for many years now but I’m really looking forward to moving into the brand new Toyota Hilux GR Sport now with the 252 plate for 2025. Having been with Toyota Long Mile since 2018, I’ve seen first hand how they prioritize customers and you will not meet a better or nicer group of people than Alex, Paddy and their team.”
Alex Burns, Managing Director, Toyota Long Mile:
“At Toyota Long Mile, we’re incredibly proud of our association with Andrew Porter for the best part of a decade now. Andrew’s dedication, reliability, and pursuit of excellence mirror all the values we strive to deliver to our customers every day, and we are delighted to continue to support him. We were really happy to have him on hand to help us launch our 252 Sales Event featuring exceptional Power-Up boosters of up to €3,000. In 2025, Toyota Long Mile is offering the Power of Choice for all our customers-whether that’s a Hybrid, Plug-In Hybrid, or Electric vehicle. We are looking forward to welcoming customers to us here in Dublin 12 throughout May, June and beyond to get their newest Toyota model for 2025.”
