This looks very much like an Acadiane in Yorkshire, all the more interesting for being upside down or backside foremost! (no intention of correcting it either!)

My daughter took this photo of a new Swedish café in Newcastle - just at the right time as they should have Semlor there - an Easter tradition.

That's no a Xantia though is it....? 406 I think! See the rear windows - it's got 1/4 lights:

Well spotted, those aren't Xantia door handles or pillars. Looks like peugeot wheels too, more 406 than Xantia but had me fooled.

Easily done, they are siblings and penned by the same design house :)

In so many ways the 406 is a Xantia with funny curly things for suspension...
