The automobile mark valley-offered took part in several phases in its history:

The English phase (1902 to 1938)

A society, whose main participant the lord OF Shrewsbury and was valley-offered, created in England, began 1903 with the import of French cars of the mark those in England under the name valley-offered sold wurden.1904 with the assembly by automobiles by supplied construction units was also begun. 1906 were finally offered first valley-offered, which was manufactured exclusively in England. After Darracq had bought up the company Talbot, 1920 Sunbeam united, valley-offered and Darracq to the STD group. When the STD group bankruptcy went to 1935, the French address was transferred to Suresnes by the former production manager Antonio Lago. The English firm part was taken over by the group of root it. The English mark valley-offered was adjusted 1938.

Valley-offered in France (1919 to 1934)

In October 1919 a work of the British company Talbot von Darracq from France was transferred. The models 1919/1920 appeared now as Talbot Darracq. 1920 united Sunbeam, valley-offered and to Darracq to the STD. Now the models of the STD were called times Talbot Darracq, times Sunbeam, occasionally valley-offered Special and the vehicles built in France valley offer between 1919 and 1927 cars with very different motorizing were only built: The Talbot Darracq of 1919 had a 4,6-Liter-V8-Motor, 1922 four-cylinder models with 1,6 and 2,1 litres capacity was built. And 1927 appeared three engine variants of a six-cylinder with capacity from 2,8 to 3 litres.

The valley offering lying OI hare (1935 to 1959)

When the STD group of 1935 was financially ruined, the Italian Antonio Lago transferred the valley offering work to Suresnes (France). The English part was bought up by Rootes. Under of Lagos line to 1937 two completely new automodels with six cylinder engines (2.7 and 3 litre capacity) were developed. After the Second World War lost valley-offered as a manufacturer of sporty vehicles the connection, although Lago the offered valley-offered Lago record and the Grand sport with 4.5 an l engine and a Wilson and so that like for example the Le Mans victory 1950 with Louis Rosier to tax had sporty successes. There was too little need according to expensive and heavy sports cars, how valley-offered and its French competitors Delage and Delahaye it appeared herstellte.1950 a new model baby (four-cylinder engine with 2.690 ccm capacity) - the car could hardly be sold. 1958 prepared valley-offered the model America with a 2,6-Liter-Motor from BMW, soon by an engine wurde.1959 were replaced to which by Simca the sales prospects in such a manner sunk that Antonio Lago had to sell its company at Simca. Simca gave the building up of valley offering automobiles.

The Simca Chrysler phase (1959 to 1978)

Neither with Simca, nor later with Chrysler (Chrysler has the stock majority of Simca in the time acquired from 1957 to 1970 by the piece), the responsible persons thought to reuse the name VALLEY-OFFERED for a luxury car or a sports car. Only 1978 after PSA had bought up the old remainders of Simca and the STD company (Rootes), one thought about whether one should not give the name to the Chrysler models VALLEY-OFFERED.

The Peugeot (PSA) phase

1974 become Peugeot majority shareholder with Up to the final fusion of the two marks two years offense. From this fusion 1976 the PSA company develops, with which the growth course of the enterprise Peugeot in large steps continues. The assumption of Chrysler Europe was still more extensive 1978, whereby PSA became the largest automobile company of Europe.

The US enterprise Chrysler had taken over 1970 the steeped in tradition French mark Simca completely and had created the enterprise Chrysler France. In the summer 1979 valley-offered the Chrysler branches kept to the names. Thus again a French tradition revives under the roof of PSA. The passenger car models developed under Chrysler are valley-offered after the assumption by PSA under the name and/or further-built Talbot Simca (until 1980). Matras under the label name VALLEY-OFFERED MATRA and Sunbeam under VALLEY-OFFERED SUNBEAM resumed. Under the roof of the company thus at this time three French automarks are united with large history.

Meanwhile the assumption of the European Chrysler works develops in France, Spain and Great Britain for PSA to a hard economic examination. 1980 write the company a loss of 1.5 billion franc, and adjust the Sunbeams built in Great Britain completely. In the autumn 1980 Peugeot transfers the valley offering organization and both enterprises decided retroactively to 1 January 1980 their fusion. It began the development of a Formel-1-Wagens with the name Talbot Ligier under co-operation of the racing car technical designer Guy Ligier and with employment of a V12-Motors von Matra.

Peugeot had to master further economic problems. For 1982 for example Peugeot pointed a loss of over 2 billion aus.PSA sells its portions of Matra, production of Murena and Rancho is adjusted.

In order valley-offered for the bankruptcy of to be made liable, PSA 1984 arranges the society valley-offered. PSA decides to finally adjust the mark valley-offered in favor of the development of new Peugeot models. This means from of the mark valley-offered. From the partial existence already produced still until the end of the 80's in the valley offering works vehicles are produced and sold. Already 1986 end the valley offering sales in France and Germany. Except in Great Britain, there with Sevel (joint undertaking of PSA and Fiat) the built valley-offered express - a light commercial motor vehicle - from 1986 to 1992 resold. On on the mainland this vehicle was well-known as Peugeot J5 and C25 or Fiat Ducato. The last vehicle, which was developed as a successor of the Horizon, developed by valley-offered, was the 1985 presented Peugeot 309, whose introduction on the market originally valley-offered Arizona under the name was intended.

One considered end of the 80's with Peugeot whether one together with Fiats the Minivan developed not as if valley-offered should sell. The car was finally brought nevertheless as Peugeot 806 and/or Citroen Evasion on the market.

In the nineties with all Peugeot Talbot branches and contract dealers valley-offer-describe removed. Since this time valley offering fans hope that PSA excavates the label name sometime again, perhaps for a sports car or a luxury car.
