A total of 136,051 cars were produced in September 2011 – a 7.5% increase on the September 2010 total, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said.

Over the first nine months of this year, car production was up 4.8% on the January-September 2010 figure, while CV production was down 2.7% and engine production up 5%.

SMMT chief executive Paul Everitt said: “The September 2011 production increases confirm a positive trend we expect to continue into 2012.
