UK car production plunged last year as the recession decimated demand.

As today's data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) shows, a year on and the pace of decline has slowed - but not a lot.

Car manufacturers made just under 108,000 cars in July, down 18% on the previous year.

The SMMT puts the improvement down to the success of the government's scrappage scheme which has boosted demand.
