BRITISH car production will remain flat in 2014, an industry body said on Thursday, as a drop in exports due to weak foreign demand saw output fall in November.

Overall production fell year-on-year by 0.2 per cent last month to 137,347 cars. Exports, which account for around four in five of all British-built models made, were down 6 per cent, whereas domestic demand rose by nearly a third.
