My final installment on regional car sales for the UK (I might do Northern Ireland when it become available) simply looks at total figures. I apologise to any Scots who may wonder why only a part of the country appears on the map. That is how it came, and at least you can see where it is.

The regions as discussed already are below, with 2011 census populations next to them. Finally comes the ratio of one car sold per person. For example, in the South East of England, one new car is sold for every 18,977 people.

Each entry is colour coded for North, Middle and South England, with Scotland and Wales with their own colour (woooo).

	South East	8,634,750	18,977
	West Midlands	5,601,847	20,145
	East Midlands	4,533,222	23,889
	South West	5,288,935	25,112
	Scotland	5,295,403	25,804
	East England	5,842,965	29,698
	York & Humber	5,283,733	31,980
	North West	7,052,177	32,120
	North East	2,596,886	33,398
	Wales	3,063,456	36,229
	London	8,173,941	57,379
	UK	61,367,315	28,395
	England	50,129,918	27,392

Summary: The South East of England being at the top is no surprise, but the two Midlands I didn't expect so high. Scotland did well, but Wales was as I thought, very low. The three Northern regions didn't do so well, but they do have the best Football teams. Congested London did as expected.
