June UK car registrations
June UK car registrations show solid 1.5% growth.
NEW CAR registrations in the UK, during June, grew 1.5% compared with the same month last year.
According to figures this morning from the SMMT, a total of 222,863 new cars were registered in the month.
The solid performance keeps the year-to-date figure 2% ahead of this time last year with a total of 1,267,299 units.
"At the half point of the year, June is traditionally the time to take stock of one's performance - and so far in 2007, things look encouraging," said Christopher Macgowan, chief executive of SMMT.
"However, while total new car registrations for the first six months are up on the previous year, they are still below the average since we moved to the twice-yearly plate change.
