I saw an R plate 405 estate in Derby the other week. I couldn't believe my eyes. I think it was an exec too.

Plenty of P-plates round here in Sheffield too.

As is typical with PSA, I believe estates were made for about a year after saloons were phased out, and 406 saloons were available.

I've seen a couple of R-plate 405's, both very high spec estate models.

Yep, I've got an N reg Estate, there's an N reg saloon down the road from me, but I've only seen P reg estates, not saloons.

As mentioned, manufacturers used to / still do introduce estate models of cars some time after the other models - look at the 306, I believe it was the hatch first, then wasn't there a delay before they launched the saloons and estates ?

One thing that I find since owning an estate, is that I see far many more estate model 405's than saloons ( I don't see any hatchbacks :wink: ), obviously the run of the estates was carried on until the 406 was established, but the "old" 405's just seem to be vanishing off our streets.

I also don't see as many 306's as I used to either.

No, the youngest BX's are K/L plate. They didn't bring out the Xantia estate until a few years after the saloon. Citroen said we didn't need one and should choose between the XM and ZX estates. Funny what a good seller it was then.

The 306 estate didn't emerge for about 4/5 years after the hatch for some reason, but carried on after, with the latest on about a 51 or 02 plate I think.

My mistake... I read that as "latest" rather than "youngest"

But it's interesting to note that the Last BX estates were on "M" (and the odd one or two on "N") just as the Xantia estate started.

Hi

The best 405s to go for are the June 1995 onwards built cars, Better sunroof set up ( if fitted, make sure it has A/C too ) & better ABS system ( again if fitted, GTX & Exec standard ) Both borrowed from the 306.

Also the petrol keypad immobiliser gained Thatcham Cat 2 staus & is still today insurance approved.

A bit off topic, but I saw an S registered Citroen ZX 1.8I Aura today in Lincoln. Ive also seen S registered ZX 1.4 Leader's as well. I thought they were phased out in 1996-7.

Er, why, Lee? They are unneccessary in this country, not the most reliable component, and you cannot fix them if they go wrong. :(
