Is there a place I can look up data on sales by manufacturer in the UK and worldwide?

Was looking to see it year on year recently without subscription.

Thanks

I had a dig around in some of the spreadsheets and there are
some interesting numbers on numbers of cars sold this year to date.
Top 3 are pretty obvious

Ford 233K
Vauxhall 204K
VW 156K

No surprises there, but next 3 are

Audi 100K
BMW 100K
Peugeot 84K

which is surprising. Some other highlights include

Mercedes Benz 71K
...
Jaguar 12K
...
Lexus 7K

which shows that Jaguar are shall we say "somewhat selective
in their appeal" compared to absolutely all of their German rivals,
but are selling more cars than Lexus.

Of course, sales volume isn't the same as profit. The likes
of Aston Martin only sold less than 1000 cars last year,
but I assume they made a profit.

Comedy near the bottom of the table

Cadillac 0
Corvette 0
Daimler 0
Dodge 0
Hummer 0
Daihatsu 3

Yes, six well known brands sold precisely three cars this
year between them. Comedy gold.

The SMMT figures are cars registered, not sold.

BMW and Audi are no surprise. Go to any motorway, you will find the 3 series and the A4 are the best selling cars of the two brands. Actually works out cheaper for fleets to run £30,000 BMWs and Audis than £20,000 fords due to the eventual resale value in 3 years time.

What is interesting is when you start looking deeper into the figures and see the volumes of Daily Rental registrations that the manufacturers do - Vauxhall in particular....
