Excitement is building up ahead of this year’s day-long Africa Concours d’Elegance at the Nairobi Racecourse.

Some of the motorcycles entered for the event, which are rare in Kenya include the 1952 Ducati of Gilgil motorcycle enthusiast Russell Hughes and the 1976 Bultaco Sherpa, being prepared by Dominique Antoine. He will also be riding round the judging ring on his 1925 Triumph 550 SD which is currently the oldest bike in the Show.

Among the big bikes lining up for judging will be the Suzuki GT750 of Captain David Mwaura, Prateek Singh Gullati’s 2001 Honda Shadow Aero and the 1989 Yamaha Super Tenere which will be presented by David Odhuno.

There will also be a squadron of massive motorcycles which are being ridden by members of the Pearl of Africa Motorcycle Club from Kampala to Nairobi. The Uganda contingent will be headed by Franco Masetto who has won prizes in the past with a Honda Varadero VTR1000 made in the year 2000.

Among the large Mercedes already listed are Dr. Joseph Alouch’s 1971 Mercedes Benz 300SE and the 1968 280SE model of Edward Davis. Both these cars have won prizes in the class for large touring cars. This will also feature the 1952 Rolls Royce of Roger Tanner.

Arguably the most attractive Mercedes on show will be the 1974 Mercedes 450SL coupe which is the pride and joy of Kevit Desai, the Concours Patron. His 1968 Jaguar 420 is also expected to earn a place in the top ten.
