Industry loses £1.3bn revenue as showrooms in England were closed for most of November
Demand for new cars in the UK was in November was nearly 30% below the same month last year, as the second national lockdown put a dampener on sales.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said just 113,781 new registrations were recorded in the UK, nearly 43,000 or 27.4% fewer than during November 2019. Trade has not been this poor since the 2008 recession.
