EMM London Returns as Partner of the 2026 Concours of Elegance
The Concours of Elegance is delighted to announce that EMM London, the specialist collector car private office, will return as a partner for the 2026 Concours of Elegance, taking place at Hampton Court Palace from 4-6 September.
EMM London is a boutique private office dedicated to providing a highly tailored suite of services to collectors and enthusiasts of blue-chip classic and supercars. Operating with maximum discretion and deep within the collector-to-collector market, EMM London works with an international clientele comprising ultra-high-net-worth collectors and enthusiasts, private banks, single and multi-family offices, wealth managers and VIPs.
The company occupies a unique position within the collector car market, operating away from the traditional broker, dealer and auction channels. With more than 70 per cent of the world’s collector cars understood to reside within private collections away from these traditional channels, EMM London provides its clients with discreet access, expertise and support across the ownership journey.
Its comprehensive offering spans sourcing and acquisition, inspections and valuations, finance and legal services, transportation, detailing and protection, event management, race circuit instruction and collections management. As a private office and specialist advisory wealth manager for collector cars, EMM London provides a holistic approach to the stewardship of significant automotive assets, supported by its luxury, climate-controlled storage facility in West London.
The company also operates a fleet of bespoke, climate-controlled single-car transporters, designed and built in-house to provide exceptional levels of protection and security when moving clients’ cars.
The partnership represents a natural alignment between two organisations with a shared commitment to the very highest levels of automotive excellence, discretion and collector experience.
The 2026 Concours of Elegance will once again bring together 80 of the rarest and most significant cars from around the world for the main Concours, displayed on the lawns of Hampton Court Palace. Alongside the main Concours field, the wider event will feature a further selection of exceptional cars, bringing together a broad community of collectors, enthusiasts and automotive marques. Many of the Concours cars will be making their UK debut. Uniquely, the Concours of Elegance Best of Show is selected by the participating owners themselves, who vote for their favourite car from the field.
Richard Hawken, CEO & Founder, EMM London Private Office, commented:
“We are proud to be partnering once again with the Concours of Elegance for its 2026 edition at Hampton Court Palace. The Concours of Elegance remains one of the world’s most prestigious gatherings of rare and significant motor cars; a unique setting where exceptional collectors and extraordinary automobiles come together on the grounds of one of Britain’s most historic royal residences.
For EMM London, it provides a natural meeting point with owners and enthusiasts who share our passion for preserving and enjoying these cars with the discretion, discipline and long-term perspective they deserve. We look forward to welcoming clients and friends to Hampton Court for another exceptional weekend.”
Neil Gaisford, Managing Director of Thorough Events, said:
“We are absolutely delighted to welcome EMM London back to the Concours of Elegance. They have become a highly respected name within the collector car world, with a level of expertise and access that perfectly complements the ethos of our event. Their understanding of the collector community, and their relationships with some of the world’s most significant car owners and collections, make them a natural partner for the Concours of Elegance. We look forward to working with the team and welcoming their clients and friends to Hampton Court Palace in September.”
EMM London has previously supported the Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace, including the 2024 and 2025 events, where the company presented a selection of highly collectable cars across a range of investment categories.
The return of EMM London further strengthens the Concours of Elegance’s portfolio of specialist automotive and luxury partners, bringing together leading names from across the collector car, luxury and lifestyle sectors.
The 2026 Concours of Elegance will take place at Hampton Court Palace from Friday 4 to Sunday 6 September 2026.
