SYEED ALI
DRIVERS UNION FOUNDER
Our second London Concours photo book not only celebrates the remarkable machines on display, but also reflects the strength of our growing partnership with the London Concours, an exceptional automotive garden party set against the elegant backdrop of the City of London. Blending world-class cars with a uniquely refined atmosphere, the event continues to stand out as one of the most distinguished dates in the automotive calendar.
Since first attending as a Club in 2021, the London Concours has evolved into a true cornerstone of the Drivers Union event programme. It offers a rare opportunity to bring together our community in a setting that perfectly captures our shared passion for performance, design, and craftsmanship.
We are proud to be part of this celebration and very much look forward to returning once again on 11th June 2025, for the highlight of the week, officially known as London Concours Supercar Day, where the energy, spectacle, and calibre of machinery reach their peak.
The next London Concours takes place from the 9th to 11th June 2026
A CELEBRATION OF AUTOMOTIVE EXCELLENCE, DESIGN, & LUXURY LIFESTYLE
An exclusive automotive and lifestyle event held at the stunning Lake Tegernsee. Showcasing 50 of the world’s finest classic and luxury cars, many of which have never been displayed in Germany before.

ANDREW EVANS
CONCOURS DIRECTOR
In 2017, the City Concours was launched, a first event of its kind in the Capital. Our aim, to create a compelling celebration of the UK’s automotive scene. In this launch Concours we curated sixty privately owned cars into six themed classes. These were complimented by several specialist automotive dealers and luxury brand holders. The result, a credible launch which captured the attention of 4,000 attendees and the UK’s media.
Flash forward to 2025 and nine editions later, the London Concours is an anchor point in the summertime calendar. Each edition has seen a rise in the number of entrants (we now have 80) competing for the coveted ‘winner’s trophy’ and our audience now exceeds 11,000 passionate collectors and working professionals from the Square Mile.
In 2020, we forged a partnership with the Drivers Union, welcoming fifty member Supercars on our final day for a spectacular showcase of horsepower and automotive flair. This was to become the foundation of a longterm collaboration which has grown from strength to strength, culminating in our hosting of the annual DU awards each year.
We are tremendously proud of the partnership we have forged with Sy and the Drivers Union and thank all members who have and will continue to support our event in years to come.
