2024 Distinguished Gentleman’s drive, Gqeberha/ Port Elizabeth.

[@GrantSwanepoel]

Such lovely cars gents!

[@GuyMcGowan]

My pick would be that gorgeous Iso Rivolta, can't be many in the country. Mate of mine Paul had a Volvo 144 like yours in the army - when we klaar'd out in 88 drove partway from Phalaborwa to Jozi with him and partway with another mate Trevor in his Cortina Mk3 Big 6... On passes home to Durbs I caught a lift with Doug in his Datsun 120Y... Lekka days!

Greetings from the UK, real envy for your weather, roads and fantastic cars.

[@oldmercguy]

We are very lucky here.

[@hendrikaoneill3191]

My husband has a red 1981 BMW R650 motorcycle and he would love to do a drive like that with you guys sometime.

[@scottrobinson3281]

That Volvo 144! I had a 1974 144E with Dunlop alloy/steel wheels, same colour. Apparently one of the first cars to be fitted with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection.

[@oldmercguy]

Such a cool, usable car kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWXOo4dqaKeheJosi=5KDZQ9lE45UT58vM. I believe it was the first with K-jet

[@LifecoachGvZ]

Absolutely amazing !

[@nealyardy4602]

Lovely thanks for the video, great to see the beautiful classic 40+ year old cars. A facelifted E30 BMW doesn't belong there. He better check his paperwork to check if not stolen 😂 definitely not 40 years old.

[@scottrobinson3281]

Correct. I had a 1987 325i, the last year chrome bumpers were fitted.

[@oldmercguy]

Yes a bit too new. It was a very clean 325is though so was still nice to see.

[@E30333i]

Its accepted under continuation model status. Mine is a BU86 chassis and 1986 model its an easy request to have it considered and get a yes/no from the organisers. First E30 shells were1982 so it fits

[@nealyardy4602]

Beautiful 333 congratulations, I wasn't referring to your car, earlier in the video of a facelifted E30 non chrome bumper. I have one, so I know its not of the period. Anyway I am just being pedantic, I guess it doesn't look to out of place amongst the others.

[@E30333i]

@@nealyardy4602 yes I know. I saw that 320i its in absolutely beautiful condition as is Vinesh's 325iS.

[@petercollingwood522]

Great event. Seeing all those cars of my youth makes me realise the passage of time.

[@suewhite9270]

JHB also does this

[@ronnykreeft1]

awesome

[@suewhite9270]

This is a charity event, prostrate cancer awareness drive as far as i know

[@oldmercguy]

Yes an event held across the world on the same day. Here is the site www.gentlemansdrive.com

[@MLC...]

Looks like all the nicest classics in SA live in/around PE. I live in Pretoria and I get the impression people in Gauteng are not interested much in classic cars. We rarely see classics on the road here. Even an ISO at this event, with British plates though. Only one in SA?

[@oldmercguy]

Yes I would think it’s the only one. Apparently only the 5th time it’s been driven in the last 40 years.

[@MLC...]

@@oldmercguy Amazing!

[@Mm1twiggy]

Lekker oil patches all over the Ford dealerships forecourt 😂

[@suewhite9270]
