I tried to look into it too. The org mentioned (Make UK) has reports for "quarterly outlooks" as they call it but it for reason only mentions percent change per sector rather than total output. I only skimmed it poorly so I could have missed some things. Also I am too dumb to read these things.

There is a Wikipedia article on "Manufacturing in UK" which says that a significant portion of their output is stuff like cars and airplane parts. Something interesting it mentions is that a lot (maybe all) car companies that started in England have now been bought by foreign entities. For example, Tata (from India) have bought Jaguar which I find mind boggling. There is only one motorcycle company that is proper Bri'ish right now.

Triumph Motorcycles Ltd is the only wholly British owned major transport manufacturer.

Motorcycles, tractors and other machines which require goblin fingers as thin as chop sticks to service because the bolts are in such unnecessarily tight places.

Right? I'm amazed they were even in the top ten.
