The Rootes Brothers: Story of a Motoring Empire

Billy and Reggie Rootes were among the most respected figures in the motor industry for nearly half a century. This book, by a motoring writer who worked for the Rootes Group and has access to family material, tells how the brothers turned a small family business into an international motoring empire. Their Humbers, Hillmans, Sunbeams and Singers were popular with the rich and royal, and models like the Hunter and Minx are still recalled with affection by those who owned them.
