This graph shows the total number of passenger cars manufactured in the UK in selected years from 1972 to 2015 with growth in production forecast until 2018. Despite a major decline in 2009 compared with the 1972 record level, recent growth has led to predictions that volume will surpass this level in 2017, assuming steady growth.
