20,000 Miles for a Glass of Champagne: The Cambridge 1960 Indo-African Expedition

LEAVING University, Christopher Fenwick and two friends were invited to a wedding in Johannesburg, South Africa. Already committed to driving to India, they lengthened their journey by crossing to Kenya and motoring down Africa. Nobody had ever undertaken such a journey before in a small family saloon. Opportunity was provided by the `political window` of 1960. This opened the road but could they drive it? Follow them on their journey as they eat Fray Bentos at the side of the road, dine at the YMCA and have tea with Mr Nehru, the incumbent Indian Prime Minister and his daughter Indira Gandhi and son Rajiv – his two successors.
