When Rover were selling off their stock, they were pre registering the vehicles I believe to improve their sales figures.
Yesterday, at a main dealer, it appeared the whole forecourt was stocked with 17 plate vehicles, is Honda going down this route to improve sales figures.
As an aside, for the 75 minutes we were there, a person was buying a car and telling everyone around what he was doing. At least three sales person were involved and when we left there was a conflab in the bosses office. Perhaps he was a jack the lad poor risk?
