This news comes from the Independent via Channel4.com:
Sales of the MINI are expected to reach a record 200,000 this year, says the Independent, and annual production – which has already been raised to 230,000 cars after additional investment this year – is expected to expand further still with the launch of the next generation Mini in 2007.
This will lead to extra jobs on the assembly line at Oxford as well as in the body pressing plant in Swindon. The total number of new jobs could reach 6000 once the Hams Hall Plant in Birmingham begins to produce new engines for the Mini.

Nice to see the MINI’s success translating into jobs for folks in the UK. And for those curious, yes the new BMW designed engine will indeed be built at Hams Hall in the UK (as we had previously mentioned). It’s looking like the next generation MINI will be quite the all British car.
Big thanks to Daanesh for the tip.
<p>It’s actually amazing, a car that is supposedly at the ends of its life cycle reaching record sales in its last year. I bet BMW would have loved to continue producing the current model if it weren’t for new safety regulations.</p>
<p>Of course they’re selling more cars, because more markets are opening up – in 70 countries at last count.
Mind you GB, USA, and Germany (the main big sellers) are kicking things along…check out who’s selling them at <a href="http://www.mini.com" rel="nofollow ugc">http://www.mini.com</a></p>
