[edit] Chrysler sell-off
I'm concerned by "The former Commer/Dodge/Karrier truck and van factory was sold to Renault." — whilst this is certainly true, there's a bit of ambiguity, and I've found conflicting hints (and statements) on other WP articles. The basic question: did the heavy commercials factory (of Commer, Dodge and Karrier models) go directly to Renault Véhicules Industriels, or did it go to Peugeot first? – Kieran T (talk | contribs) 19:11, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
It's my understanding that Peugeot bought it first and then sold it on to Renault. The only reference in support of this I can find at short notice is "The World Encyclopedia of Trucks", Peter J. Davies, Hermes House, 2002. Sunbeammadd 09:32, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Talbot Minx, Rapier and Solara.
Just in relation to the recent edits relating the special edition versions of the Talbot Alpine and Solara towards the end of production, I think I can add some background.
Right at the end the Alpine and Solara names were dropped in favour of Minx and Rapier.
Before this happened though there was a special edition called the Talbot Solara Sceptre. In the September 1982 edition of Classic and Sportscar magazine, there is an advertisement for the Solara Sceptre on page 62.
