As there is quite a few more than just 10 different manufacturers selling cars in the UK each dealership may only have 100 cars in stock. Now if each Ford dealer for example, had 100 cars in stock and with 9 different cars in it's range, that is just 11 of each car they could have in stock. Divide those 11 models by every engine and and trim combination available regardless of choice of colour and whether manual or automatic, 100 cars isn't a lot. So neither is 300,000 divided between all the manufacturers selling in the UK. Especially as approximately 2.5 million cars were sold in the UK last year.

so £25 BILLION worth of cars sitting around unsold isn’t a lot to you.
obviously the motor trade dont share your dismissiveness!
by the way, even if Ford had only a paltry 1% of unsold cars of their 330,000 annual sales that’s 3,300 cars alone. that’s way different to what you were originally suggesting that they had none.
