ERA
English Racing Automobiles (ERA) was a British racing car manufacturer founded in 1933 by Humphrey Cook, Raymond Mays, and Peter Berthon. Renowned for their expertise in creating competitive single-seater race cars, ERA quickly became a dominant force in pre-World War II motorsport, particularly in European and British events. The company’s cars were distinguished by their robust engineering, powerful supercharged engines, and meticulous craftsmanship, enabling them to compete successfully against larger, more established manufacturers. The ERA A, B, and C models, in particular, achieved numerous victories and podium finishes, solidifying ERA’s reputation in the racing community. Although production ceased during the war, ERA cars continue to be celebrated in historic racing circles, preserving the legacy of a brand that played a pivotal role in the development of British motorsport.
