Am I right?

I'm thinking Citroen stopped making the 3dr version of the ZX before the 5 door model?
Hence why I'm not seeing any late plated 3drs?

May even be that they simply stopped importing them - so none are seen in the UK.

3 door ZX have a strange status - bargain basement at one end and fire-breathing moster at the other. There seems to have been something strange with the better ones - like the petrols didn't sell very well and so the diesel volcanes were introduced. I expect it come down to simple buyer's choice - if I want a Golf GTi - I'm going to have a Golf GTi - even if there are better cars out there.

I think the four door ones were built in France and the three doors in Spain, though whether that makes any difference I know not.

Im pretty sure theres 5 or 6 ZX 3 doors around in the U.K. that left the factory with the XU10J4RS 167 bhp lump out the 306 GTI6, Not sure if there P or R reg cars though.

thanks lee, so the answer is yes the 3dr was fazed out before the 5?

I was bidding on a P reg 3 door 16v on ebay a few months ago so they were definitely on sale close to the end.

Have a look on the Auto Trader site. There are plenty of late 3 doors to be found - I spotted a P reg 1.4 Leader on there earlier.
