LCV Market Records the Best November in its History

lcv-market-records-the-best-november-in-history

There’s no doubt we’re still on a rollercoaster ride when it comes to the impact of the pandemic, so it’s always good to see evidence that we are on our way back to reality.

In our industry that has come in the form of the latest SMMT figures, which revealed that the LCV market recorded the best November in its history.

The 31,320 LCVs registered last month is a 9.7% year on year increase, new Pick-up truck figures jumped with 2,610 new vehicles registered in November, which is an increase of nearly 40% on the same month in 2020.

I realise that our excitement needs tempering a little given that in November 2019 4,500 new pick-ups were registered, and the figure was 4,000 the year before that.

The important thing is that the figures are going in the right direction and hopefully proving that the tide has started to turn on the backlog of the supply of new vehicles into the UK market.

The increased registrations show that the manufacturers are working extremely hard to overcome the shortages, although I am sure that there will be some peaks and troughs with availability throughout 2022. The important thing is that we are geared up to support dealers through these challenges.

From an accessory perspective, we have a full order book of new pick-up trucks for the fitting of hardtops and other products as soon as the vehicles arrive in the U.K., and to meet the un-predictable supply that the New Year looks likely to bring, we have an extensive stock holding in our large warehouse, which will make sure that we can react quickly as soon as vehicles arrive with dealers.

Of course, the limited supply of new pick-ups is still seeing the used market continue to fly.  As a result, we’re still welcoming a steady stream of older vehicles into our fitting bays and taking orders for a wide range of accessories as buyers look to bring their pick-ups up to the standard they want.

This week alone, we have had two pick-ups that were over 15 years old in for bespoke hardtops. Thankfully being a British designer and builder of hardtops, with a huge warehouse packed full of accessories, we are uniquely placed to help customers with this sort of enquiry.

Large fleet, dealer or retail customer, with a new or used pick-up, we are best placed to help with your accessory needs.
