The Swindon factory, which produces the Civic hatchback including the 316bhp Type R is Honda"s only car production plant in the EU. It"s already announced a six-day shutdown in April 2019 to assess disruption in relation to Britain"s impending exit from the EU on March 29, but a decision to close the factory entirely would come as a shock move. Claims suggest Honda will maintain its company headquarters in Bracknell even if the Swindon plant is axed.
