Sunbeam-Talbot Cars Sunbeam-Talbot is a complex combination of a British and a French car manufacturer with other companies thrown in for good measure. In 1920 Sunbeam merged to create Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq (or 'STD'), a confusing mix of English and French companies. By 1935 STD were in decline, with only the Talbot brand successful in both sales and sports wins mainly due to their Swiss engineer Georges Roesch. William and Reginald Rootes bought Talbot out of STD in 1935, and started to use the chassis and mechanics of Hillman and Humbers as the basis of 'Talbot London' cars, giving them their own Talbot bodies. After World War Two the Rootes brothers rebranded Talbot cars as 'Sunbeam-Talbot' from 1938, but finally reverted to just 'Sunbeam' from 1955. But it wasn't until 1979 that the 'Talbot' brand resurfaced as new owners Peugeot took off all the Chrysler badges; a consequence of this rebadging is that from 1979 to 1981 there was a Talbot Sunbeam car. |
