The London Concours is excited to announce its partnership with Iconic Auctioneers for the 2024 show. The event will be held at the Honourable Artillery Company in the city from June 4th to 6th. Iconic Auctioneers will conduct a luxury lifestyle auction at the HAC on Wednesday, June 5th, bringing further excitement to the second day of London Concours, the leading automotive summer garden party in the capital.
Iconic Auctioneers' London sale will offer a range of luxury lifestyle items to bid on, including collector cars, motorcycles, automobilia, high-end watches, fine art, and stunning jewelry. The auction will take place in the heart of the city, just a stone's throw from Old Street station.
The four-wheeled machinery on offer will include everything from much-loved automotive heroes of yesteryear to modern performance icons. Star lots will include a stunning 1970 Aston Martin DB6 Mk2 Volante, one of just 38 such cars built. Upgraded to Vantage specification, it is the same model owned by HRH King Charles and ranks as one of the most desirable Aston Martin variants of all. Also on offer will be a 1969 Aston Martin DB5, which has been fully restored by Desmond Smail and upgraded to a 4.2-litre specification. A true collectors' item - forever associated with James Bond.
The fine art element of the sale will feature works by Turner Prize winning English artist Keith Tyson (b. 1969). Iconic will offer his Studio Wall Drawing: Designs for Chicago Hyatt Centre (2003). Tyson is known for his conceptual works that continually challenge what constitutes reality, ruminating on themes of chance, causality, and interconnectedness.
The sale is set to offer London Concours guests an unforgettable auction experience in a setting like no other. Iconic Auctioneers is recognized as the UK's live auction market leader, with a track record of delivering stand-out auctions at leading automotive events across the UK and Europe.
The grand Prince Consort Room at the HAC will play host to the auction. Viewing will take place from 11am to 8pm on Tuesday 4th of June, and on Wednesday 5th until the auction commences at 5:30pm. The sale will also be live-streamed on the Iconic Auctioneers website, allowing bidders around the world to take part in the action. Online bidding, telephone bidding, and commission pre-bidding will also be available for those unable to join the sale in person.
Andrew Evans, Managing Director, London Concours, said: "We're excited to have partnered with Iconic Auctioneers for this special luxury lifestyle auction. Working with the passionate team at Iconic, Wednesday's sale will add an exciting new element to June's show, which is going be our best, and most action packed, yet. Our event has always offered guests the chance to pore over the most remarkable cars in a unique London setting. Now we'll offer guests the chance to take one home, too."
The London Concours event, taking place this summer, is set to feature around 80 vehicles ranging from classic to modern hypercars. The event will be held near Old Street in a lush green location. More information about the event's classes will be announced in the coming weeks leading up to the 8th edition of the London Concours.
In addition to the impressive car displays, guests will have access to a wide range of food and drink options. The all-day Club Concours hospitality experience, engaging live stage discussions, and a selection of luxury brands and boutiques will also be available to attendees. The London Concours 2024 is expected to be a spectacular event for car enthusiasts and those who appreciate luxury indulgence.
