This L plate Xantia puzzles me, as I thought this year had the chevrons on the bonnet?

Perhaps it has had a replacement front end.

Re: Chevrons on the bonnet when?
dont listen to uk registration for age! or take any notice! in theory though the chevrons are on the bonnet when theres No air bag! in general K reg and Early L reg cars... now i said dont listen to uk reg for age because i have a W reg xantia in but the actual car ahould be an S or a T as the rp is older then mine and so are the parts for example the drop links are for older cars.. they changed on V you see.
Going back to L reg cars.. they are NOT all sinkers either. ive also got an L reg. no air bag chevrons n the bonnet but it IS an anti sinker..
ive also see an L reg with Air bag and chevrons in the grill...

Re: Chevrons on the bonnet when?
Its about switch over time on an L plate so quite likely for it to be original, it has an airbag too. Its also LHD and I would guess the LHD cars got the revisions a little earlier.
My S1 Xantia is on a 98 S plate, so should really be a S2, which has caused some interesting comments but I have not had issues with getting parts. It was built almost two years before it was registered.

Re: Chevrons on the bonnet when?
My N-reg was a sinker with chevrons on the bonnet and an air bag (just the one).

That must have been a late registered but early build car.myglaren wrote:My N-reg was a sinker with chevrons on the bonnet and an air bag (just the one).
