Alfa Romeo and Porsche to star in tenth London Concours

Words: Elliott Hughes | Photography: London Concours

The London Concours returns to the Honourable Artillery Company in the heart of the UK capital for its tenth edition on 9-11 June, 2026. 

Alfa Romeo is being honoured as one of the headline acts of this special, tenth anniversary event, in collaboration with the Goodwood Road Racing Club. The event will see a selection of the Italian manufacturer’s greatest models – spanning nine decades of history – showcased on the concours lawn. 

Highlights include a 1932 Alfa Romeo 8C Tourer and a 1933 8C 2300 – models that helped establish the marque as one of the dominant forces in pre-war motorsport – followed by a 1958 Giulietta, a 1968 Giulia Sprint GT Veloce Stepnose and a 1971 1750 GTV Mk2. A 1972 Montreal formerly owned by Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon and the radical Zagato-bodied RZ continue the lineage, with a 2022 Giulia Quadrifoglio representing the modern era.

Porsche will be celebrated across all three days, beginning with the Porsche Perfection display of the marque’s most celebrated models on Tuesday 9 June. The Stuttgart brand will also feature in a new Sonderwunsch (‘Special Request’) class that assembles ten examples of cars built under Porsche’s exclusive factory personalisation programme. 

Wednesday 10 June will honour the Jaguar XK with a display that charts the British sports car’s development from the post-war XK120, through the refined XK140 and XK150, to the V8-powered XKR – a lineage that also laid the groundwork for the Le Mans-winning C-type and D-type racers and the iconic E-type.

The Icons Remastered Class, meanwhile, puts a spotlight on reimaginings of revered models from the likes of Singer Vehicle Design, Gunther Werks and CALLUM, whose Wood and Pickett Mini brings a distinctly British flavour to the class. Other highlights include an Audi Quattro SWB and an Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale.

Event partner Halcyon has also used the occasion to announce its most significant new offering, the Great Eight Series. This combustion-powered remastering of the Rolls-Royce Corniche is built around the legendary 6.75-litre L-Series V8 and is limited to 60 one-of-one commissions. 

On the more extreme end of the automotive spectrum, a 2009 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 has been confirmed to appear in the Hypercar class. Powered by an 8.0-litre quad-turbocharged W16 engine, the Veyron pioneered the idea of a 1000bhp hypercar nearly a decade before the LaFerrari, Porsche 918 and McLaren P1 followed suit.

The Tuners Class promises to be another headline-grabbing attraction and includes the bombastic Ferrari Koenig 308 QV GTS – a car that Octane readers might recognise from our issue 267 feature. You can read more about that particular car here.
