Stuttgart Heroes Field Report

We had been discussing for some time the prospect of a one marque event at Hero Motor Company. We are known for our work with BMW and Alpina, but with a healthy stable of Porsche in our own Hero Collection as well as many clients trusting their own Porsche to our keeping, it could only be a celebration of Stuttgart’s Heroes.

If we build it, they will come. We swept the floors, opened the doors and laid out enough pastries and coffee to feed a national Oompah contest!

We have to tip our caps to the crew at Stuttgart South, a tight community of Porsche fanatics down here in the south east. We weren’t expecting so many quality cars at our gates, with almost every generation of Porsche in attendance, from 924’s, 930’s all the way to 992 Carrera’s.  We really were spoilt for choice for great conversation.

Special thanks must go to David Ayres for corralling so many Porsche enthusiasts and guiding them to our event, as well as the valued customers who proudly let us display their awesome Porsches.

Lastly, a big thank you to the ever talented and forever friendly Guy Allen for displaying his incredible artwork in the Hamilton building.

I hope we will see you at the next one!
