Chrysler UK was the British subsidiary of the American automotive manufacturer Chrysler Corporation. Established in the 1920s, it played a significant role in the UK automotive market by producing a range of vehicles, including cars and commercial vehicles. The company was known for models like the Chrysler 180 and Chrysler Avenger, which were popular during the 1970s. In the 1980s, Chrysler UK faced financial difficulties and underwent several changes in ownership. Eventually, it became part of the DaimlerChrysler group in 1998. Today, Chrysler's presence in the UK is primarily through imported vehicles rather than local manufacturing.
