For other countries (UK, like this one), they had to also replace rear side windows by panels. The real van version (looking like Renault Express / Renault 4 F4 / etc.) was the "205 XA(D) Multi" -- Last edit: 2007-01-01 12:42:38

So, the 205XAD was a strong seller here (with rear side-windows but with an iron grille up to the top separating the front seats from the rear of the vehicle). It was even sold here a 205XAD Turbo (1769cc) which I think was unique to Portugal.
