SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes said: "November's manufacturing gains are encouraging, and put the car industry in a strong position with one month left in the year.
"Particularly pleasing is the recent pick-up in export production, which is proof that despite challenges in some global markets, the UK continues to build cars that appeal to consumers across the world."
