ROOTES Heritage Day at Gaydon 2024 | Classic Rootes cars
Old Classic Car
@oldclassiccarukAbout
Hi, I have lived and breathed vintage & classic cars, old lorries, automobilia and more here in the UK since the mid-1980s when I first laid a spanner on the rusting remains of a 1967 Triumph Spitfire. I learnt to drive in a Mk1 Austin Mini, and took my test in our Austin A40 Mk1. I created the Old Classic Car (OCC) site in 2001 to reflect my own interests in the world of aged automobiles and it is updated regularly. I hope that my videos about these characterful old cars, and my obsessions about them, help raise the profile of these wonderful relics of motoring's past. Please subscribe and, if you are able, leave me a few comments. Many thanks, Richard Jones.

Video Description
Classic Rootes Group cars (Hillman, Humber, Sunbeam, Singer, Commer etc) descended upon the British Motor Museum at Gaydon in 2024, for the annual Rootes Heritage Day, as did a number of earlier models that pre-dated the Rootes Group. This was the first Rootes-only event I'd been to, I've always liked the look of pre- and post-war Rootes Group cars, and their cars' interiors in particular often stand out as being a lot more inviting and stylish than perhaps the interiors of contemporary rivals. Many properly rare cars turned up, including example(s) of the Sunbeam Venezia, the huge post-war Humber Super Snipe, Sunbeam Rapier, Hillman Avenger, Hillman Minx (closed saloons and convertibles), Singer Gazelle, Humber Sceptre, Hillman Husky estate, Sunbeam Talbot 90, Humber Hawk estate, plus a number of forward-control Commer vans. Let me know in the comments which Rootes Group car(s) are you favourite(s). At the end of this video I'll include a link to previous Rootes-related car videos and photo compilations here on the Old Classic Car channel.
