Last week, figures from the automotive industry showed a decline in UK car sales. They also shone a light on the UK's third biggest export - eight out of 10 cars built in the UK are exported.

HM Revenue and Customs releases monthly figures for UK trade. According to the latest figures from October 2011, the UK's biggest export in the year to date was nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances (including parts thereof). Mineral fuels, mineral oils and products of their distillation,bituminous substances and mineral waxes followed in second place, although incidentally it was also the most highly imported product in 2011 rising by 46% on the year.

Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling-stock, and parts and accessories thereof ranked as both third highest import and export. In the year to date (October 2011) the UK exported £23bn worth and spent £32bn on importing these items.

The United States received the most British export goods last year, followed by Germany and France. The top trade partner for imports was Germany, followed by the United States and China. The UK exported


From The Guardian

...The total value of UK exports for the 12 months ending June 2011 was £280,343m, an increase of £36,540m (15.0 per cent) compared to the 12 months ending June 2010...

Or are you thinking GDP ?

...GDP. The total market value of all final goods and services produced in a country in a given year, equal to total consumer, investment and government spending, plus the value of exports, minus the value of imports...

GDP 1975 £106,717,000,000 Increased 13.66 times by 2010, approx' 7.8% per annum compounded.
2010 £1,458,452,000,000 That is a staggering average £166.5 million per hour 24/7 for year.
