Yes, Peugeot was added to the british Rootes Group range in the 1970s by Chrysler, USA. The original range (Humber, Hillman, Singer, Sunbeam, Talbot, Commer and Karrier) was already in financial difficulties from the mid 60s along with most of British Industry and Chrysler's rescue was no real help.

Is that the one near the junction of Hard Lane and City Road where many years ago there was a Hatton's car dealership?
I believe it was Ashalls - a Ford dealership in the 50s onward.
