Chrysler owned Simca and Rootes until the late 1970s, but sales kept going up and down (usually down). Peugeot bought them and sold the Omni as the Talbot. They had Simca/Sunbeam engines (Lloyd Parker). The Centura sold in Australia was a Simca. Rootes Group brands included Singer, Sunbeam, Hillman, and Humber.
