Classic Car Club of Nigeria, since 2016

I am classic, not old.

Owners and admirers of classic cars, meeting in Lagos for drives, shows and coffee. You don’t need to own a classic to come along.

From one car show to more than 200 members

It started with a classic car show that Tophorn Nigeria Limited, led by Dapo Otunla, held at Tafawa Balewa Square in April 2016. Dapo Otunla, Bola Odunlami and Lanre Soetan then decided to start a club for classic car enthusiasts, and the first drive and show followed that October. The club now runs a calendar of Independence Day drives, Father’s Day shows and Classic Cars and Coffee meet-ups.
