Car Market UK: 1970's


The 70's didn't see the end of the UK car brands, but they were feeling the strain of under investment therefore reduced competitiveness. BL's market share had over halved from 1969 to 1979. Ford was up slightly but both Chrysler UK and Vauxhall were down somewhat. Import brands were chipping away with much success, as can be seen below when compared with "Car Market UK: 1960's" two blogs ago.
