    This is a none story. What they are saying is if the EU don't let us keep the reciprocal arrangement over standard Certificates they won't be able to sell 3000 odd cars to the EU while EVERY ******* CAR ON THE MAINLAND will not be able to be shipped and bought in the UK...

    I don't think the EU are going to stop them selling their cars...

    ohhhh nail and head

    bureaucrats can make it more difficult, purely to support their own agenda, but then we know the eu cares not a jot about it's citizens.

    All new cars in the UK must have Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) approval, which is valid in the EU.
    Without a UK-EU deal, that validity would cease for new cars from March 2019.

    Collateral damage.

    (I'm collateral damage as well but being skilled I have more opportunities.)

    "MPs ask car executives for a breakdown of where the UK's cars are sold.

    Mike Hawes of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders says:

    UK car makers export just under 80% of the cars they produce
    56% of that goes to the rest of the EU
    The EU is 4x bigger than the US, which is the next biggest market for exports
    For EU car makers, 7% of their exports come to the UK
    The UK is the EU's second largest market for new cars"
    They should have asked that prior to the referendum.
