A huge milestone was recently passed by the team at the Nissan Plant in Sunderland, as they have been celebrating the 11 millionth vehicle being built there, since production started in 1986.

Rolls-Royce has very recently announced an extremely limited line known as the Black Badge Cullinan ‘Blue Shadow’ Private Collection.
