Great British Car Shows Presents: The Rootes Brothers on August 2nd: Billy and Reggie Rootes were both elevated to The Peerage for their massive contribution to the war effort between 1939-1945. They presided over not just the biggest group of garages in the UK, but also the Hillman, Humber, Singer and Sunbeam marques.
