The Rootes Group or Rootes Motors Limited was a British automobile manufacturer and, separately a major motor distributors and dealers business. Run from London's West End they were respectively based in the Midlands and south of England. In the decade beginning 1928 the Rootes brothers, William and Reginald, made prosperous by their very successful distribution and servicing business, were keen to enter manufacturing for closer control of the products they were selling. One brother has been termed the power unit, the other the steering and braking system,
With the financial support of Prudential Assurance, the two brothers bought some well-known British motor manufacturers, including Hillman, Humber, Singer, Sunbeam, Talbot, Commer and Karrier controlling them through their parent, Rootes' 60-per-cent-owned subsidiary, Humber Limited.
At its height in 1960, Rootes had manufacturing plants in the Midlands at Coventry and Birmingham, in southern England at Acton, Luton and Dunstable, and a brand-new plant in the west of Scotland at Linwood. From its offices in Devonshire House, Piccadilly, in London it controlled exports and international distribution for Rootes and other motor manufacturers and its own local distribution and service operations in London, Kent, Birmingham and Manchester. There were assembly plants in nine countries outside the UK.

Just brough an Roots 2 stroke Diesel back to life back to life.. The sound is fantastic but is not comming through in the video. So much for mobile phones. Had not run for years, need the following fixed. - Fuel Injection pump - Fuel Pump - Injectors Cleaned - Sump removed and cleaned. - New filters all around and BANG !! starts on the first crank.. Bit smokey on power, hope it clears away or will need to change the rings. Though it does have very good compression. Its a complete commer 3DPA-199 motor. It was removed from the original truck, and put into a furniture van until the van chassis / body was beyond use. Then the motor was cut out intact from the chassis and is as you see it, complete with horns, fan drive, clutch hydraulics..etc. If you notice you can hea...

This Rootes Group film, made in 1962, features the 3,080 mile, East Africa Safari Rally. The car manufacturer's Hillman Minx was winner of its class. Commentary by Raymond Baxter.
Reviews the history of the British automobile manufacturer, the Rootes Group. Bought out by the US Chrysler group in 1970, the firm became uncompetitive and was sold in 1978 to the French Peugeot company for one dollar - the $1 bargain. By 1991, Peugeot's General Manager for the UK subsidiary, George Turnbull, made a remarkable transformation to the fortunes of the company. The theories of Andrew Pettigrew and Richard Whipp are used as a basis for interpreting the success of the turnaround by Peugeot. Pettigrew, A., & Whipp, R. (1993).

The Sunbeam Tiger is a high-performance V8 version of the British Rootes Group's Sunbeam Alpine roadster, designed in part by American car designer and racing driver Carroll Shelby and produced from 1964 until 1967. Shelby had carried out a similar V8 conversion on the AC Cobra, and hoped to be offered the contract to produce the Tiger at his facility in America. Rootes decided instead to contract the assembly work to Jensen at West Bromwich in England, and pay Shelby a royalty on every car produced. Two major versions of the Tiger were built: the Series I was fitted with the 260 cu in Ford V8; the Series II, of which only 633 were built in the final year of Tiger production, was fitted with the larger Ford 289 cu in engine. Two prototype and extensively modified versions of the Series I c...
