LONDON (Reuters) - British new car registrations fell by an annual 3 percent in October, preliminary data released by a car industry body showed on Monday.
Sales have been hit in recent months by more stringent emissions rules disrupting the supply of vehicles, double-digit drops in diesel demand and uncertainty around Brexit, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) has said.
Demand in Europe's second-largest autos market fell by around 7 percent in the first 10 months of the year, the body said.
The SMMT will publish the final figures for October at 0900 GMT.
