In this video we explore
In this video we explore one of the most incredible collapses of a major car company the Rootes Group which was once Britain's second largest car manufacturer. I show you some of the most amazing lost prototypes that were created by the company with incredible cars like Hillman Swallow, Avenger Coupe to revial the Capri and more! The Zagato Zimp and Sunbeam Venezia are also featured in this video.
I give you a history of how this empire began and how it ended including the Hillman Minx, Hillman Avenger, Hillman Imp, Audax Cars, Singer Vogue, Singer Gazelle, Humber Hawk, Humber Sceptre and more!
I have credited where possible these works are transformative.
