''Britain is brilliant. Seriously. Whatever you make of, y’know, things that have happened over the past year, it’s a nation that remains really good at making*cars.
This small and mostly very proud nation churned out 1.72 million vehicles in 2016, the highest number this century. It’s an enormous 8.5 per cent increase on 2015, which works out as nearly 1.5 million more vehicles leaving our magnificent UK*factories. Leading the charge are Jaguar Land Rover and Nissan. JLR is now the biggest producer of cars in the country, with 544,401 vehicles leaving its four British manufacturing plants. Impressive, whatever you make of the two companies and the Infiniti Q30. Out of the big makes, Mini, Toyota, Honda and Vauxhall all have factories on UK*shores, and between them contributed another 650,000*cars. That’s before you consider the plethora of deliriously fun and focused sports cars that Britain pops out. From Ariel to Zenos*, via Ginetta and Radical, there are so many small volume British cars that will blitz racetracks into submission. Don’t forget about the load luggers and commercial vehicles too – Britain’s manufacturing industry supplies white van men (and women), farmers and haulage companies across the*world."combining to claim top spot… Success can be put down to strong sales of the F-Pace, Evoque and Range Rover*Sport.* Nissan sits just behind, JLR, and with just one factory. A total of 507,444 cars rolled out of its behemoth Sunderland plant, including the Qashqai, Juke..http://www.topgear.com/car-news/brit...s-car-industry......
