New car sales accelerated last month, according to the Society of Motor
Manufacturers and Traders.

The lure of the new six-two number plates meant there were 359-thousand-612
new registrations in September - an 8-point-2 per cent rise on September 2011.

Sales for the year so far have reached more than 1-point-62 million - a
4-point-3 per cent increase on the January to September total last year.
