At HERO-ERA, we're always looking for products that genuinely add value to the historic motoring community. Whether it's navigation equipment, rally clothing or carefully chosen books, everything we stock is selected because we believe our customers will enjoy owning and using it.
That's why we're pleased to welcome Porter Press International to the HERO-ERA Store.
Founded in 2005 by acclaimed automotive author Philip Porter, Porter Press has established itself as one of the world's leading specialist motoring publishers. Its books are recognised for their exceptional research, high production values and beautifully presented photography, making them favourites with enthusiasts, collectors and historians alike.
A Publisher Built Around Motoring Excellence
From award-winning car biographies to in-depth marque histories and beautifully illustrated collector's editions, Porter Press has built an outstanding reputation for publishing books that celebrate every aspect of motoring history.
Its flagship Great Cars series has received numerous awards and tells the stories of some of the world's most famous competition and road cars, including the Gulf Ford GT40, Jaguar C-type and Ferrari 250 GTO. Alongside this sits the Exceptional Cars series and the highly regarded Ultimate series, which explores landmark motoring subjects in exceptional depth.
Porter Press also publishes books covering everything from Land Rovers and Jaguars to motorsport, restoration, automotive photography and remarkable motoring adventures.
Written by the People Who Know the Cars Best
One of the things that makes Porter Press stand out is the calibre of the people behind every title.
The publishing team includes experienced editors and designers from titles such as Classic & Sports Car and Haynes Publishing, while many of their authors are recognised experts in their fields. Their list includes respected names such as Doug Nye, Ian Wagstaff, Keith Bluemel, Mick Walsh, Rinsey Mills and Philip Porter himself, with several having received the Guild of Motoring Writers' Montagu of Beaulieu Trophy.
Over the years, Porter Press has also worked closely with well-known names from the motoring world, including Murray Walker, Martin Brundle, Derek Bell, Gordon Murray and Sir Stirling Moss.

More Than Just Books
One of the reasons we were so keen to work with Porter Press is that both companies share a passion for preserving and celebrating motoring heritage.
Historic motoring is built on stories—of remarkable cars, legendary drivers, incredible engineering and unforgettable adventures. Books remain one of the best ways to preserve those stories for future generations.
As the HERO-ERA Store continues to grow, we're looking forward to expanding our range of motoring books and, in time, exploring other products that complement them.
In the meantime, we're delighted to welcome Porter Press to the HERO-ERA Store and hope you enjoy exploring the collection as much as we have.
