Britains car market even with the uncertainties over electric and brexit resolution is still at 2.3 million.
At present we export around the world and import from around the world that isn't going away, the consumers want our product and we like theirs that will be the basis of a common sense trade deal.
The EU market doesn't want us saying non to their manufacturers whatever the politicians say and that means they won't be saying non to us.

Unfortunately it's politicians who make the decisions, not customers, sellers or manufacturers, with Johnson posturing about the EU before we even start discussions, the outcome may not be totally logical.

Manufacturers will continue to export at will - unless there is an official embargo placed on them. The UK needs to export more and import less.

Certainly we need to export more and supply our own market more, sadly economics will play the biggest role.
Tariffs and currency values can and do determine marketing.

What tariffs do you think we should put on EU goods and services coming to us ?

Zero tariffs would be better all round, but that is far from guaranteed as yet, if we get each side playing tit for tat with regulation or restriction, then it could get messy.

As we keep getting the litany of doom about tariffs mainly from those who have been on the wrong side of history since the Brexit referendum iit is reasonable to ask what are we going to do to retaliate against any tariffs on our goods or restrictions on trade.
They hit our Jaguars we hit their Mercedes, they hit our Lamb we hit their Irish beef etc etc.
That would only happen if the EU bureaucrats are allowed to, certainly Ms Merkel and Mr Varadkar won't want their Industries hit.
The EU has many members and a much bigger market but it's about the effect on the big players and the Germans in particular fill our streets with cars and our homes with white goods the French send us many cars and large amounts of foodstuffs.
Which country will want to ruin its markets for their EU superstate obsessives ideals ?
None.

That scenario is exactly what we don't want, any sort of trade war will be bad news for us, had a little chuckle at the "our" Jaguars, is that like "our" Nissans, Toyotas, Hondas, Minis or even Rolls Royce.

Yes Jaguar is perhaps not the best example but then the ownership of many limited companies is often "vague"

Love him or Hate him he has held nothing back in showing up the EU for what it is.
Oh just as a little side note to all the doom merchants Nissan have stated they are seriously considering closing the European factories and bringing the whole European operation to Britain.
I think as time goes by the arguments of the remainers will be binned one by one.
No they havent

There you demonstrate a serious ignorance about the EU. Even if you reject the EU you need to understand their position.
The single market has contributed trillions to the wealth of its members and it will not allow anything to harm it.
To protect it they have product regulation and trade procedures and if we start trying to break that we will be told to "go away".
We do 45% o four trade with them. They do 8% of their trade with us.
Go figure.

Surely the car manufacture has been mainly those in the UK and those from EU members - what about cars from other countries?

Most of the trade we have with the EU is in the finance sector - upon which there are no tariffs. You are wrong about contributing wealth to its members. Several are in financial difficulty because Germany is holding the purse strings.
