This family owns Kenya’s oldest car

A 1911 Ford Model T

This year’s CBA Africa Concours d’Elegance took place at the Ngong Racecourse Nairobi over the weekend. It is the 48th edition of the vintage motorcar show by the Alfa Romeo Owners Club. Over 10,000 car buffs, mostly Kenyans who buy more tyres than shoes, made their way there to admire the 70 classic vintage cars and 40 motorcycles gunning for the top prize.

Since the first Concours d’Elegance at the Safari Park Hotel in 1971, this event held at the last Sunday of every September has attracted entries from Argentina, Australia, England, Germany, Malawi, Mauritius, Mexico, Namibia, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zanzibar and Zimbabwe.
