Default S2000 European sales figures

Found these S2000 registration stats buried in the HONDA MEDIA NEWSROOM.

Year _____ Europe _____ y/y
2004 _____ 2,018 _____ -3%
2003 _____ 2,080 _____ -18%
2002 _____ 2,527 _____ +15%
2001 _____ 2,195 _____ -44%
2000 _____ 3,948
1999 _____ 1,179


Source: HONDANEWS.COM Europe/Middle East/Africa -- Registrations By Model 2004

and HONDANEWS.COM Europe/Middle East/Africa -- Honda Vehicle Sales in Europe by Model

I've derived 2003 based on the -3% in 2004.

Only UK figure was 2004, which is 1,176. So the '04 model change slowed the decline in registrations perhaps and still represents 20 a week new registrations.

And no, I am not going to speculate on any demise possibilities

Those figures seem a little odd - I see way more MY04, MY05s than earlier models on the road. Can't believe that all the old-school MY00s have been parked backwards into hedges.

So the UK represents more than half the entire European sales! I was aware the car is way more popular than in France, Germany etc - but not to that extent. I wonder how the figures are derived. If they are from Honda's shipments then the UK will be understated because of the cars that are delivered, say to Holland, to be delivered to the UK. If, however, they are based on new vehicle registrations then we could have double counting as some cars are registered on temporary plates in a continental country before being driven to the UK.

Not big numbers are they. I wonder how many cars are written off each year? I wonder what world sales are like.

Wonder who the one Norwegian was that bought an S2000 in 2004?

Is he a forum member?
