“November has been another difficult month for the motor industry and whilst some consumers may have delayed their purchases to take advantage of the recent VAT reductions, overall demand continues to fall,” said Paul Everitt, SMMT chief executive. “Urgent action is now required to ease access to credit and finance, both to support consumers and meet the cash-flow needs of the industry.”
