Roger Tanna’s 1949 Bentley limousine and Rajesh Anil Lakhani in his 1951 Rolls Royce will lead a strong field of 40 entries at the CBA Africa Concours d’Elegance set for the Nairobi Racecource in September.
Other participants entered for the event include teenager Emmy Wanday, who will be making a first appearance in what has been dubbed the classiest event on the motor sport calendar, in his 1990 Honda motorcross bike.
Wanday will be joined by two-wheel enthusiasts, John Kaveke with a Honda VT750CDC and Shane Avyin who is preparing a 1999 Harley Davidson.
The duo will be making their first appearance at the motor show and are among the nine members of the Cruzin Kings leisure riders group who will draw spectators to the motorcycle judging arena.
“The Concours is rated as the classiest event on the Kenya motor sport calendar and attracts entries from other countries which confirms the status of the event.
The event also helps to publicize Kenya as a country which has the facilities and capability of organising events which meet world standards” Chris Pasha, the Group Head of Marketing of CBA said.
The annual Concours d’Elegance rewards the owners of well kept cars and motor cycles with prizes in the 20 classes for all makes and types of machines.
