Anyone found a List of British built cars?
We had a Toyota Carina as a previous car that was British built and it was a great car, bulletproof and a really good runner.None of the regular problems we've had with our Euro built Mondeo.
We're on the market for an additional car now, can anyone point me in the direction of a list of cars built in the UK?
I do try my best to support British workers, so I'm hoping there's some small cars built here that would fit our requirements.
Thanks in Advance.:D

Civic and CRV as well as the Jazz (I think) are Swindon built. Mini is Oxford built and Nissan build the Qashqai (and the Micra still?) in Sunderland.
That is a small list but there is more and I'd want the above confirmed!0 -

My mates Jazz was made in China, of all places.0 -
I don't know if this list is up to date but it looks pretty accurate to me.

If I feel the need to hide
And it's my problem if I have no friends
And feel I want to die0 -
Jazz production will start in Swindon at the end of this year.0

See in particular the link in post#25 of that thread"Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100 -
