Citroën Xsara Break Service 

Not sold in the United Kingdom where the tax régime does not recognise that vehicles of this type are commercial vehicles, the Dutch Xsara Break Service improves on the load space in the already capacious Break or estate car with an usable volume of 1500dm3 thanks to a raised roof.

The Xsara Break Service is offered with a choice of 1,4i petrol engine, 1,6i petrol engine with or without automatic transmission, 1,8i petrol engine, 1,9D diesel or 2,0 HDi turbo diesel.

Built by ASH in Herkingen (near Rotterdam) on special order from Citroën Nederland.  It takes advantage of a very low road tax (and is exempt from luxury tax on purchase) since under Dutch law,a van has to have a minimum volume.  The ASH company also builds similar versions of the Xantia and XM breaks
