SAAB sales in the UK have passed the 20,000 mark for the first time, new figures show. The company says its sales success has been driven by an 86.4% rise in fleet sales.

Its total sales in 2004 were 20,294 units, up 39% on the previous year, and fleet sales totalled 9,320 units.

Electronics company Siemens, for example, has just taken delivery of its 164th model.
