UK: New Car Registrations Slip by Only a Quarter in November

New car registrations in Britain fell 27.4% year-on-year in November, industry data released on Friday said, as England spent most of November in its second national lockdown.

The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) revealed this morning said that sales amounted to 113,781 cars, as an option to buy online and receive from showrooms and delivery options was used.

Commenting on the performance in November, SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes said: “Compared with the spring lockdown, manufacturers, dealers and consumers were all better prepared to adjust to constrained trading conditions.”
