Meet the Man Driving From Nairobi to Cape Town in a 40-Year-Old Peugeot 504

Описание: The Peugeot 504 is one of the most legendary cars ever built for African roads. Known for its incredible durability, long-travel suspension, and simple mechanical design, it earned a reputation as a car that could survive almost anywhere. But can a decades-old car with a carburetor engine still handle a continental road trip in 2026?

In this episode of Gearhaus, Kalasinga and Vanilla host a man attempting one of the most ambitious road trips imaginable: driving a 40-year-old Peugeot 504 from Nairobi all the way to Cape Town.
