A BURY dealership moved into top gear with an influx of orders in the run up to this month’s new car registrations.

Perrys Vauxhall in Crostons Road welcomed the orders for the brand new 59 plate cars. The 59 plates are significant as they mark the end of the 50 series that first appeared in September, 2001.

Next year will see the registration plate series change to 10 and 60.

Dealership general manager, Darren Knight, said: “We have seen a substantial increase in interest leading up to the new 59 plate registrations, compared to this time last year.

“Consumer confidence seems to be increasing, helped by the combination of new licence plates and the scrappage scheme, which has improved orders for new cars.”
