OK, not strictly speaking a Rootes car, but a forerunner.

Interesting, I do not think I have ever seen a car with a leather exterior before.

That may be one of those fabric bodies created by Weymann back in the day.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Sunbeam around 1925? have leather bodies

I have some wooden models from 1914 Sunbeam. The doesn't show any leather.. just wood.. Picture to follow.
BUT I did like that Hillman.

I do not know how to post a picture here, but I have pictures of a twenty's Humber which I saw in Holland, all decked out in leather! If I had the money I would love to have one of those early Sunbeams and show up unexpectedly at an Invasion.
