The UK Government's COVID-19 Lockdown 2 took a £1.3 billion toll on car sales during November as registrations declined 27.4%, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). There were 113,781 new cars registered, with retail sales fulfilled through forecourt collections or home delivery. But year-to-date new car volumes are down 663,761 units. 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. "But, with £1.3bn worth of new car revenue lost in November alone, the importance of showroom trading to the UK economy is evident and we must ensure they remain open in any future COVID restrictions." |
