    The Author

    Philip Porter is the author of around 30 motoring books. In an action-packed life, he started competing in hillclimbs and sprints while still at school, winning 10 of his 12 events in 1970 in his full-race Sprite. Bitten by the classic car bug, he bought five Jaguar XKs in 1973 (four of which he still has) and his historic E-types (9600 HP, the oldest E-type which was the development, launch, press car, and 848 CRY, the '61 racer and roadster in the film The Italian Job) in 1976. He began writing articles and books in the mid-'80s. In parallel he began flying hot air balloons and airships competitively (European Airship Championships Silver Medallist) and was the first person ever to fly an airship in Africa. He has twice been Chairman of the Sherlock Holmes Society and in 1997 he and his wife Julie formed the International Jaguar XK Club, the Jaguar E-type Club following in 2004. In 2005, he created Porter Press International, which is now one of the world's leading motoring publishers thanks to the amazing team with which Philip is immensely proud to work.

    Exactly what I was looking for
    Color: Coffee
    I feel like I'm pretty particular about a lot of things I buy, which can lead me on a never-ending search. I recently purchased this bag, and it has quickly become my favorite accessory! The design is both elegant and practical, making it perfect for any occasion. The exterior is crafted from high-quality, durable material that not only looks luxurious but also stands up to daily use. The interior is spacious and well-organized, with multiple compartments that make it easy to keep all my essentials in order. One of the standout features is the comfortable, adjustable strap, which allows me to wear the bag as a shoulder bag or crossbody, depending on my needs. The hardware is sturdy and adds a touch of sophistication to the overall look. The handbag is also incredibly versatile. Its classic design pairs well with both casual and formal outfits, making it a great addition to any wardrobe. Plus, the price is very reasonable for the quality and style it offers. Overall, this handbag has exceeded my expectations. It’s stylish, functional, and well-made, offering excellent value for money. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and fashionable handbag!

    Classic style and great size
    Color: Black, Color: Black
    The size and style of this bag are exactly what I was looking for — something polished enough for meetings, school conferences, and other business-type occasions. I’m 5'2", and the proportions work really well for my frame. I like the classic design and the gold hardware — it looks stylish without being flashy. The quality seems good so far, but I am a little nervous about the strap brackets since I saw other reviewers mention issues with them breaking. Hopefully, that won’t be a problem. The only downside for me is the three main sections inside. The bag already has plenty of pockets, so having three large compartments makes it a bit harder to remember where I put things. It just takes a little more digging around than I’d prefer. Overall, it’s a beautiful, structured handbag that feels elegant and professional for the price.
