First UK Built Toyota
The first UK built Toyota is the Toyota Carina E 1.6 GLi in the photo. This Toyota Carina E 1.6 GLi was produced at the Toyota Motor Manufacturing (UK) plant at Burnaston, Derbyshire.

The first UK built Toyota drove off the Burnaston production line on the 16th December 1992 and 15 years and over 2.5 million vehicles later it was donated to the Heritage Motor Center, Gaydon, Warwickshire. The first UK built Toyota will be part of a new exhibition called Making British Cars.

Hein Van Gerwen, Managing Director, TMUK said: "This milestone firmly establishes our role in Britain’s proud car manufacturing
history. It is fitting that we take this opportunity to donate the first Toyota vehicle manufactured in the UK to the Heritage Motor Center where it can be enjoyed by visitors the world over. We are delighted that the Secretary of State joins our celebrations as we reflect on our achievements and look forward to manufacturing more quality products for our growing customer base in Europe."
