Coastweek -- Motor companies booked 50 per cent of the spaces in Auto Expo at the launch function to take the opportunity of promoting their products and services.

This event will be held by the Alfa Romeo Owners Club together with the CBA Concours d’Elegance on September 24^th at the Nation Racecourse.

Auto Expo gives the motor trade an ideal opportunity to show new vehicles and products to the motorists who will flock the Racecourse for the Concours which is the classiest event on the Kenya motoring calendar.

There is a choice of standard and large plots which are laid out along the inside of the Racecourse.

Among the companies with bookings for large plots are DT Dobie, General Motors, Marshalls and Toyota.

In addition to cars, pick-ups, SUV’s and light trucks there are reservations by companies showing accessories and motorcycle.

Total Kenya Limited was allocated the first of the standard plots and others have been reserved by Sports Motorcycles who will be showing KTM bikes and Halifax, the Royal Enfield agents.

Spectators at the Concours enjoy dividing their time between watching the judging of the classic and vintage cars and motorcycles and viewing the latest vehicle available on the Kenyan market.

Thanks to CBA they also have the opportunity of free SMS voting for the best new car on display in Auto Expo.

Lucy Mungai, the Auto Expo Secretary, commented, “We are pleased with the response from the motor industry and we expect the remaining plots will be snapped up before the entry deadline.

“The vacant spaces will be allocated on first come first served basis.”
