Official figures released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) show that total UK car sales in October were 2.6 percent better than in the same month a year ago. Ford sold 13.7 percent of all the cars in Britain, for a total of 18,476 units, up 2,132 units and 1.3 percentage points compared with October 2010.
The Fiesta was once again the best-sold car in the UK, followed by the brand new Focus. Ford Transit continues as the UK commercial vehicle (CV) sales leader, capturing 21.7 per cent of sales in the medium CV sector in October.
“Ford comfortably beat the positive trend in the UK car market in October, which is a great credit to our strong dealer network,” said Mark Ovenden, Ford of Britain managing director. “Against intense competition our best-ever vehicle range is helping to strengthen Ford’s continued UK market leadership. Particularly pleasing is the success of our most recently launched models such as Focus and C-MAX, which are boosting customer appreciation of the distinctive attributes of the blue oval brand.”
