UK car registrations increased again in 2015 and the majority were imported from the EU. I am confident any trade deal post Brexit will not be an issue as the EU would not wish to put their jobs at risk.
EU total exports to UK are less than 10% of all EU exports. That's less than 0.4% of each member nations' GDP.
UK total exports to EU are nearly 50% of all UK exports. That's nearly 50% of our GDP.
We have a lot to lose, and they have a little.

Interesting data in that link, Doug.
Germany, France, Spain and Italy alone buy about 7,000,000 cars compared to our 2,600,000.
Of those 2 600,000 that are bought in UK, out of the top ten, only Golf at 73,000, Polo at 55,000 and A3 at 47,500 are cars made in EU
So of the 2,600,000 new cars registered only 175,500 are from EU.
Less than 7% of new registrations in UK are EU made cars.
It's looking worse and worse for the chances of a trade deal in the event of Brexit.
