- September 2004 the highest monthly volume for 15 years
- Rolling year to September total was 381,388 – a new record
- September’s 52,230 registrations up 8.4 per cent on last September

Christopher Macgowan, SMMT chief executive said, ‘September is a vital month in the registration calendar and the figures confirm strong demand. We expect demand to hold at similar levels over the coming months, but growth next year may ease as interest rate rises hit more consumer and business markets.’
