Yes, originally Sunbeam was an independent make. Sunbeam was the first
British car to win a Grand-Prix race. Sunbeam was the first production
car to have a double over-head cam engine (in 1925). Then it merged to
become Sunbeam-Talbot. Then it came under Rootes Group. One of the best
cars I ever owned was a Suinbeam Stiletto, a sporty version of the
Hillmann Imp.
