The Civic is made at Honda's Swindon factory
|
The two-millionth car is due to roll off the production line at Honda in Swindon on Friday.
The silver CR-V will be finished nearly 16 years after car manufacturing began in October 1992.
A spokesman for the company said it also planned to invest £80m to upgrade and improve manufacturing processes at its Wiltshire-based plant.
In 2007, Honda in Britain produced 237,783 cars and is planning to make some 236,000 in 2008.
Honda director David Hodgetts said: "This fresh investment will enable Honda to improve overall competitiveness and increase the level of localised manufacture in Swindon."
