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. Rootes Group was a global empire which made so many great cars, so come and say happy 70th, to the Singer Gazelle.
