As James, Ant and Kate drive out of the factory, that's it for Building Cars Live! If you missed any of tonight's or last night's live shows, you can catch up with both of them in the Live Coverage tab above, along with plenty of highlight clips from across the two days.

And you can continue the debate on Twitter at #carslive.

BBC iWonder: thought-provoking answers to fascinating questions

It's a design classic that's moved with the times - but what's actually changed?

Why do we love the Mini? Find out with BBC iWonder.

Unfortunately our little red Mini was five minutes away from being ready by the end of the live show so the boys commandeered a similar looking vehicle, with Kate giving chase... 

Many of you have been interested to see the self-driving car.

Ant Anstead visits engineer Michael in Germany to take a ride in a self-driing car. With the press of a button the car drives itself, an experience Ant finds rather spooky.

Mr. Bean’s beloved Mini took him for a ride on many of his adventures. In the first episode he crashed his orange Mini, but by the next episode he had another, this time in bright yellow with a black bonnet.

The Mini was the stage for some unusual driving techniques - with Mr. Bean operating the controls whilst sitting in an arm chair strapped to the roof, as well as using a brick to hold down the accelerator as he struggled to get dressed and brush his teeth.

A scene was shot for the 1997 film Bean of Mr Bean driving his Mini through Harrods department store, but it wasn’t included in the final film.

Though often referred to as a Robin Reliant, super-fans of ‘Only Fools and Horses’ know that Del Boy and Rodney’s yellow van was actually a 1967 Reliant Regal Supervan III. This clapped-out old banger became an iconic fixture on the ‘80’s sitcom, though it was much maligned by Del Boy, who would claim it wasn’t his when he wanted to make a good first impression.

The Austin 1100 is remembered for the thrashing it received from John Cleese’s Basil Fawlty, who subjected his 1100 to a barrage of words and hits from a tree branch after it failed to start.

Produced in Austin’s Longbridge car plant near Birmingham, The Austin 1100 was one of the most successful British cars of the period and a regular sight on the country’s roads throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Whether giving them a damn good thrashing helped them work better is unclear.

As we’ve seen, it takes a lot to get a car from start to finish on the production line – and manufacturers hope they sell well. We’ve heard a lot about the hits, but what about the cars that flopped out of the factory?

The 1973 Austin Allegro was nicknamed the “all aggro” by critics. It was plagued by design flaws, including the baffling square-ish steering wheel. However it sold well initially. In later years updated versions lagged behind modern competitors.

The 1963 Hillman Imp began its life as a Mini rival but was soon overshadowed by the Mini’s popularity and stylish reputation, whereas the Imp merely gained a reputation for poor reliability and caused manufacturer Rootes Group huge losses which eventually led to the company’s demise.

James May drives a Mini on its first journey from the factory onto a double-decker train - and tries not to hit the narrow sides.

How good are you at directions and map reading? Satellite navigation devices have become vital tools for many of us in recent years, but exactly how smart are they?

In March 2012 Austrian researchers found that when we look at the front of cars, our brains detect faces - and even give these faces personalities. Researchers found that the Volkswagen Beetle appears happy, the Honda Civic looks neurotic, and the BMW 645ci seems dominant and angry.

Last year another study showed that not only do cars appear to have faces, but these faces look like their owners. People were shown front views of cars alongside possible owners, and researchers found the owner was more often matched with the car than they would expect than by chance alone – but only with the front ‘face’ view, not for the side or rear views.

To complete the happy household, the same study showed that owners – and their cars – also resembled their dogs, though only when the dogs were purebred.

In 1968 the Ford Dagenham plant’s female machinists walked out after being downgraded to a lesser pay grade which meant that they were receiving only 87% of the pay of their male colleagues. The strike resulted in a halt to all car production at the factory.

The strike lasted three weeks, and the women agreed to go back to work after a pay deal where they would receive 92% of male wages. Better pay, but still not equal.

However, their strike gave momentum to a rising feeling that unequal pay was wrong. This led to the 1970 Equal Pay Act. MP Shirley Summerskill said the machinists strike played a "very significant part in the history of the struggle for equal pay".

The 2010 film ‘Made in Dagenham’ directed by Nigel Cole and starring Sally Hawkins and Bob Hoskins was based on the strike.

While the rich lusted after the rarefied glamour of the E-type, ordinary folk found it aplenty in the new Ford Cortina. The Cortina was designed and engineered to be affordable, light and stylish. From 1972 to 1981 it was the UK’s best-selling car (except in 1976, when it was pipped by the Ford Escort).

American Roy Brown designed the car at the Ford Dagenham plant. His previous car, the Edsel, had sold poorly, but the Cortina restored his reputation with Ford.

In the 1970s the Cortina became associated with travelling salesmen - perhaps for its affordability or its glamour, but certainly for its generous boot size.
