Published on May 8, 2020, the Golden Jubilee Africa Concours d'Elegance is set to take place on September 27 at the Ngong Racecourse in Nairobi.
Rated as the classiest event on the Kenyan motorsport calendar, the Concours will feature 20 classes for all makes and types of cars, pickups, SUVs, and motorcycles.
Among the entries is a 1949 Bentley limousine, meticulously prepared by its owner, Roger Tanner, who has been restoring the elegant two-tonne grey limousine to be ready for judging.
The Bentley, one of seven imported into Kenya, has been in Tanner's possession for 20 years after lying idle. It will undergo a series of inspections, including a check of the underside, paintwork, interior, and engine.
Tanner, a classic car enthusiast, has previously presented a 1952 Rolls Royce Silver Dawn at the 2017 Africa Concours d'Elegance, which was declared the most elegant at the event.
Competitors will also be marked separately for the fancy dress awards, which have no bearing on the Concours results.
