Still unsure why she wants the factory to be in the UK...? Or do you mean she wants a British car? Ie Ford, which have some Volvo, Peugeot and Citroen money behind them too...

Or Vauxhall perhaps. Nice British car maker, with erm, Saab (Sweeden) and Fiat (Italy) mixed in too... lol.

Are you having a off day or something? Nothing about these statements is true.

With regards to the Op's question i think everythings been covered except nissan. They have a sunderland plant but can't remember what they make there.

My mum would like something that gets as many mpg as possible but still has decent size engine (1.4+, i would say). She currently has a peugeot 307 estate which she has decided is too big. I think a hatchback is more of what she's looking for now!

How about an Elise, quick, economical and built in England. Only half joking :beer:

Mum quite likes the Nissan Note But still got a bit more looking around to do!

But even if you buy a car 'built' in the UK, how many of the components are made here as well? Car factories are just large assembly plants, all the main components (engines, gearboxes, suspension etc) are shipped in from other plants or other suppliers, many of them abroad, where the actual manufacturing takes place).
By all means buy a car assembled in the UK, but don't kid yourself that it's 'British made'.
