New Passenger Car Registrations European Union + EFTA Countries PRESS EMBARGO : 8.00am (7.00am GMT), 16 February 2006 16th February 2006 New Passenger Car Registrations European Union + EFTA Countries New PC Registrations January to January Registrations per month in thousand units 1.500 Total Europe (EU + EFTA) (compared to previous year)* 1.228 1.259 1.250 1.500 1.000 1.259 1.250 1.203 1.169 1.228 1.114 1.071 % 750 +2.6 1.000 750 - % 500 -2 3.9% +2.6 Units (000's) Units .8% 500 250 250 0 0 Jan-Jan Jan-Jan Nov 04 -- Nov 05 Dec 04 -- Dec 05 Jan 05 -- Jan 06 2005 2006 *Not adjusted for working days Total new passenger cars registrations in Europe (EU-23 + EFTA) in January 2006 amounted to 1,259,267 units, which represent an increase of +2.6% (and +3.0% in the EU-15) with respect to January 2005. The figure, although influenced by one extra working day across the entire region, is an encouraging start of the year for the sector. The increase is mainly due to the EU-15 countries (+3.0%) while new EU Member States (-4.9%) and EFTA countries (-0.5%) still report a loss for January 2006, but of minor entity with respect to previous months. With respect to national situations, three out of the five main markets reported growth: Germany (+10.8%), Italy (+10.7%) and France (+2.8%). Spain (-0.3%) and the U.K. (-13.3%) ended the month with a loss. Among the other EU-15 countries, only three reported decreases, while the seven others posted positive results, with Belgium (+14.1%) leading the pack thanks to the positive effects of the Brussels Motor Show. The EFTA loss was driven by Switzerland (-1.8%), while among new EU Member States, Latvia (+58.5%), Lithuania (+55.2%), Estonia (+22.1%) and Hungary (+12.1%) reported growth, with Poland (-16.5%) still leading the list of countries which posted losses.

  • Totally T-Type
    THE EDITOR Welcome to the July Issue! Silverstone MG International has come and gone for another year. I don’t know what those of you who attended thought, but I reckon that the event had more of a ‘buzz’ about it this year. I suppose the magnificent displays of K3s, MGA Twin Cams and L-Types helped and there was also a better focus and more to do with the introduction of the Arena. From my perspective the highlight was in meeting so many of you at the Register stand and it was very good to ‘put a face’ to several of you who were but names before. My thanks also to the gentleman from the US who always gives me £10 towards TTT costs whenever he sees me! I think I am correct in saying that the MG Car Club’s 3 year (or was it 5?) contract with Silverstone Circuits, who manage the commercial interests of the 700 acre site on behalf of its owner, the British Racing Drivers’ Club (BRDC), expires after the 2009 International Weekend. If the MG Car Club decides to stay at Silverstone post 2009 (I personally hope it does) at least we will not have to suffer the indignity of having to wait upon Mr Ecclestone to make his mind up over the date of the British Grand Prix before we can announce the date of our Silverstone International Weekend. Indeed, if there was ever a good reason for us not going to Donington Park this is it! “Donington Park” do I hear you say? Well yes! At the time of writing this editorial (13th July) it has just been announced that Donington Park in Leicestershire will host the British Grand Prix in 2010.
