European Car Sales Rise Seventh Straight Month on U.K.: Economy

European car sales advanced a seventh consecutive month as new models to replace aging vehicles and an economic rebound in the U.K. boosted demand at Renault SA, Ford Motor Co. and PSA Peugeot Citroen.

Registrations in March jumped 10 percent to 1.49 million vehicles, the Brussels-based European Automobile Manufacturer’s Association, or ACEA, said today. The gain was led by an 18 percent surge in the U.K., which accounted for one-third of the region’s deliveries.
