Vauxhall (=Peugeot Citroen) make the current Astra at Ellesmere Port.
The Vauxhall van plant in Luton also makes the badged versions for Nissan & Renault,
(when attending a Marine exhibition in Southampton a few years ago the shuttle bus from a multistorey car park took us past the wharf where a selection of (seemingly) one-off Renault chassis cabs were waiting for export).
Ford at Dagenham transitioned from Fiesta production to the assembly of diesel engines while Ken Livingstone was Mayor of London.
Toyota still have an engine plant in north Wales and vehicle assembly in Burnaston, Derbyshire.
JLR have a plant in Slovakia for the new/next Discovery
