Car production has increased for the 12th month in a row, with over a million vehicles built in the UK so far this year, new figures show.

Exports were up by 6% last month, with a 14% rise in output for the domestic market.

More than three-quarters of a million cars built in the UK this year were for overseas markets - almost four out of five of all cars manufactured.

Yep, I've really noticed those Brexit Blues. This was the year to the end of July with strong performance in July.

new British-built models in demand across the world

The world mark you, not the EU. Something I've been saying for a long time.

I expect more and more news like this to come in. As it does the £ will get stronger and stronger. Then when the BOE has to raise rates early due to their knee jerk reaction post Brexit of cutting rates and injecting money, the £ will soar further. In the end, far from helping, the BOE actions will damage the UK economy because the cure for the inflation it causes is going to hurt.

They are not post Brexit, we haven't left yet.

It is early days yet and the figures do look good, well a lot better than expected, we can only hope they keep on in the same direction.
