ACCORDING to a Leyland Vehicles' market prediction, made with only a few days of November remaining, vehicle registrations (3.5 tons plus} will be 3,900— the lowest on record.
Looking further ahead, the Leyland survey predicts a 1980 total of 62,000 registrations with another significant drop to 51,000 in 1981.
For the basis of comparison, the 1979 figure in the 3.5 tons plus category was 79,800.
The Leyland survey predicts that its 1980 market share will be 17.3 per cent — about the same as 1979.
As one Leyland spokesman put it: "It is the year that we stopped the rot. And just as important, it will be the first time that the importers' share will not increase."
