Good Year - Bad Year - carl_a
SMMT (www.smmt.co.uk) has released December 2004 sales figures, it seems that December wasn't a good month for sales (bar a few brands) so 2003 is still the record year.

Seems that all the well known brands are stagnant/declining, while the Japanese, Korean's and some quality/specialist brands are gaining a good slice of the market. Interesting figures of 2004:

Kia up 57%
Saab up 39%
Mazda up 26%
Mitsubishi up 24%
Jaguar up 11%
Citroen -10%
Peugeot -9%
Mercedes-Benz -12%
MG -13%
Rover -24%
