Timeless Motor Elegance in Nairobi ¶
On Sunday, Nairobi played host to Concours D’elegance, an annual car event that brings together motor enthusiasts to admire vintage and classic cars and motorcycles.
The event, sponsored by Brookside Daily, Commercial Bank of Africa, and Sarova Panafric, among others, is considered Kenya’s poshest automotive garden party.
John Wroe’s 1930 Ford Model A emerged as the winner of this year’s event, beating out his daughter, Veronica Wroe, who drove a Rolls Royce Boatail 1934.
Concours D’elegance is a great day to try on fancy sundresses, enjoy live music, and have a kids’ day out.
