An extension, costing more than £750,000, is now working at the British Motor Corporation's plant at Washwood Heath, Birmingham, said the BMC yesterday.
It has stepped up production of axles and front suspension units from 16,000 to 20,000 a week and is part of the Corporation's £49,000.000 expansion plan.
