This Sunday’s CBA Africa Concours d’Elegance has attracted an amazing selection of rare and unusual cars and motorcycles which will be making their debut.
The Concours is rated as the classiest competitive event on the Kenya motor sport calendar and will be held by the Alfa Romeo Owners Club at the Nairobi Racecourse starting 9am. One of the most unusual cars on the entry list is the 1935 Austin single seater racer which has been entered and prepared by Geet Chana. She discovered this diminutive machine in a derelict condition in Kilifi and has taken over a year to painstakingly rebuild this classic.
The most attention grabbing novelty in the motorcycle judging ring will be the large tricycle entered by Minuteman Autoworld Limited which was made in the United States in 2004. This radically designed three wheeler is powered by a rear mounted Volkswagen engine and has a streamlined fairing engine reaching forward to a motorcycle front wheel.
Among the cars which will be seen on Sunday at the Nairobi Racecourse for the first time will be the 1948 Oldsmobile of Magdy Riad and a 1930 Ford Phaeton entered by Nakuru motoring enthusiast Rashid Mughal. Attention grabbing regular entries includes Paul Chemngorem’s 1960 VW Karmann Ghia, the 1954 Morris Minor of Maina Muthuma, a Karatina Dairy farmer, and Gayling May’s superbly presented 1967 Alfa Romeo Sprint.
For the tenth successive year members of the Vintage Motorcycle Club of South Africa will be participating in the Concours. Each year the South Africans bring different bikes and on Sunday September 30th Gavin Walton will be showing a 1936 AJS which will be the debut appearance of this make of motorcycle. Professional heavy weight boxer and motorcycle enthusiast Bevan Beckmann will treat spectators to a first look at a 1977 Ducati 900 SD Darmah which will be a hot contender in the up to 900cc street bike class.
The South African visitors and ten members of the Uganda Bikers Association (UBA) will be up against the formidable local trio of Rick Agagliate, Sati Jabbal and Karl Pleitz all of whom have outright wins to their credit.
Reigning champion Rick Agagliate is pinning his hopes on the 1936 Moto Guzzi GTC which earned him the title last year and a freshly restored 1937 Moto Guzzi GTS street bike. The oldest machine at the Racecourse will be the 1925 DKW of Sati Jabbal who has more outright motorcycle wins to his credit than any other competitor.
