Hyundai dealers awaiting smaller models to deliver to customers can expect to receive the models soon as the South Korean manufacturer delivered 1,100 i10s at Tilbury docks in Essex.

Each of the cars is going to a paying customer and Hyundai is expecting more ships to turn up soon with more i10s and i20s to be delivered to the 11,500 customers that have ordered them through the scrappage scheme.

Hyundai said it was expecting a record June for the company in the UK when sales figures for the month are revealed next week.

Hyundai’s top seller is the i10, which costs from £4,995 including the scrappage allowance.
