Ford tops new car sales in Scotland once again

     
  09/01/2006 12:47:27  
 

Ford has topped the list of most popular cars bought in Scotland last year, according to the latest official figures.

Scottish drivers bought more new Ford cars than any other during 2005, with the company extending its run as the UK's number one car brand to 29 successive years.

Figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders confirmed the company's superiority in the UK and Scotland especially.

Douglas Robertson, chief executive of the Scottish Motor Trade Association (SMTA), said: "This is proof that the new car buyer in Scotland has confidence in the quality of the products being offered ... I believe it also reflects the fact that in real terms new cars are no more expensive than they were five years ago."

Andy Barratt, sales director of Ford's north Britain region commented: "Market leader is a title we are intent on keeping. Retaining the sales crown in what was a particularly competitive year is very satisfying."

He added that Ford expects to launch five new products in the new year.

"The 2006 Ford Fiesta and Fusion now on sale will help us celebrate 30 years of supermini success since the first Fiesta model arrived on Scotland's roads in 1976," he said.
