Car dealers are busy rolling out the latest 70-reg plate to customers today at the start of a crucial month for the car industry – but supply of new cars could strangle performance.
Dealer bosses and industry experts have told Car Dealer they believe this September could be the ‘biggest ever’ as pent-up demand is coupled with many buyers treating themselves after lockdown creating a swarm of interest in showrooms.
Daksh Gupta, Marshall Motor Group boss, has said he believes 70-pate sales could push September up by as much as 25 per cent year on year.
Marshall Motor Holdings Plc (LON:MMH), together with its subsidiaries, engages in retailing passenger cars and commercial vehicles in the United Kingdom. It sells new and used vehicles; and provides after sales services, such as servicing, body shop repairs, and parts sales.
