Welcome to RootesGroup

A Rootes Enthusiast's Site - Our emphasis these days is more and more tending to be towards the larger commercial vehicle products of the Rootes group, i.e. Commer, Karrier, Dodge (including later examples of the 'Kew' varieties of true Dodges, 'badge engineered' Commer/Karrier, Dodge 50 Series and otherwise, all via the influence of the Chrysler Corporation) and, for a short while, Tilling-Stevens and Vulcan, many of which are otherwise not terribly well represented in their home country.

'Proper' Rootes Humbers and Sunbeam-Talbots will always get a bit of a 'look in' here due to the commonality of some of their parts with the smaller payload commercial vehicles but I expect to be drifting gently away from the smaller car and car-based van ranges from now on. Anything 'camperised' may be tolerated, but mainly under sufferance, and with preference given to Walk-Thru size and upwards.

So.........watch this space for a (just possible) forthcoming dramatic sale of lots of juicy bits and pieces that might suit your Alpine, Minx/Gazelle, etc. or Super Minx/Vogue/Sceptre. There's nothing much left for Arrow/Avenger/Imp unfortunately as that all went to new homes a while back.

We are based on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent, United Kingdom. Please see contact details below.
