The London Concours returns to the Honourable Artillery Company from June 3 to 5, spotlighting some of the most interesting vehicles of the past few decades. This year, the event launches a new class—Youngtimers—dedicated to performance cars from the last half century that are quickly gaining relevance among a younger crowd.
The Youngtimers category brings together ten cars, primarily German, from an era when performance and design took a different turn. These are vehicles that once flew under the radar but now resonate with a generation that values both driveability and character.
The 1994 Alpina B10 is one of the prominent cars in this class, based on the BMW E34 5 Series. It showcases Alpina’s signature mechanical and visual upgrades, including a naturally aspirated six-cylinder engine. Fully restored, it is one of only two right-hand-drive versions in the UK.
Another entry is the Porsche 930 Flatnose. Built as a limited-run variant of the 911 Turbo, it features an altered front end inspired by the race-spec 935. Its shape divided opinion at the time, but the car’s raw performance and bold look have given it a lasting edge.
The collection also features a 2001 BMW Z3 M Coupe in Laguna Seca Blue, a colour seen on just three cars. This one has been with its first owner for over two decades. The car’s story began with a road trip across Europe, which adds a personal layer to its already rare build.
Andrew Evans, Director of London Concours, said, “The London Concours is an unfiltered celebration of cars that matter. The Youngtimers class reflects a growing shift—more people are turning to late ‘80s to early 2000s performance cars, especially those from Germany. They’re powerful, practical, and full of personality, and we’re looking forward to putting them in the spotlight.”
Beyond Youngtimers, the event will host the Hypercars class, curated in partnership with Apollo Capital. This segment includes 12 rare models, such as the Maserati MCXtrema—a track-only machine powered by a 730hp twin-turbo Nettuno V6. Built without road regulations in mind, the MCXtrema is designed purely for performance. Only 62 units exist globally, and this will be the only one on display in the UK.
Also featured are the three cars often referred to as the “Holy Trinity” of hypercars: the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1, and Porsche 918 Spyder. Each combined hybrid technology with high-level engineering and reshaped performance standards in the 2010s.
Another major feature is the Dream Cars class, supported by EMM London. This section includes a selection of models that once lived on bedroom walls and magazine covers but have now become serious collector cars.
Leading this class is the Bugatti EB110 SS, chassis number 0001, originally delivered to the Sultan of Brunei. One of only 30 Super Sport versions ever built, the EB110 SS featured four turbochargers, a V12 engine, all-wheel drive, and reached 212 mph in testing at the Nardi track in Italy.
The Dream Cars line-up also includes the Ferrari F40, Lamborghini Diablo GT, and Porsche 959—all of which shaped the identity of modern supercars in different ways.
Richard Hawken, CEO of EMM London, said, “The cars in the Dream Cars class reflect the vehicles that still sit at the top of people’s wish lists. We’ve worked closely with the Concours team to bring together a group that feels personal, relevant, and powerful in the right way.”
Mr. Evans added, “The EB110 SS once sat in one of the most talked-about private collections in the world. Pairing it with cars like the F40 and 959 makes this a class people will want to take their time with.”
London Concours 2025 offers a three-day look at how engineering, design, and culture evolve together. It’s not only about rare cars—it’s about how they reflect shifts in emotion, performance, and taste. From hypercars and classic dream cars to the growing visibility of Youngtimers, the event captures a turning point in car culture.
