#rootes group

Hillman was the British Rootes Group’s mainstream car brand; the Imp (pictured) was their small, rear-engined car built at Linwood in Scotland. Italian coachbuilder Zagato saw possibilities for a car with Imp mechanicals, styled by them with an aluminium bodyshell. The prototype Zimp was presented at the 1964 Earl's Court Motor Show, but Chrysler, who had a 50% shareholding in Rootes, vetoed the project, and the Zimp went no further.

The Sunbeam Venezia Superleggera was the product of a collaboration between the British Rootes Group and the Milan-based coachbuilders Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera. Based on the Sunbeam Rapier floor pan, the Venezia struggled to find buyers due to its high cost and humble underpinnings. Introduced in St Mark's Square, on September 12, 1963, production had ended by 1965 with a mere 203 having been produced.
