We probably have more "inertia" for that kind of things, the Ford Falcon (big 50's saloon) was made here until 1992 or something, and the Pug 504 until 2000, so you can see what I'm all about... And of course there's some technical delay as well.
Did all the 504 states from there end up in Africa too?
It started in the late 90's here when my dad sold all the last of his 7 seaters to guys from morocco or Ghana and moved onto 505's but they're nearly all gone too
Even rarer for me were the state cars to be honest, there are really few of them here.
I messed up there with sedan, I know you say saloon, but when writing that it came to my mind Jeremy Clarkson saying sedan. Now I realize it was him criticizing the americans, not actually using the word hahaha
It (306 sedan) was among the only saloon marketed here in the 90's as a sedan!
So a funny typo of mine that turned out to be right by mere chance lol. Did you add that part of the 504 states? It wasn't on my message. About that, the 504 state (the 505 as well really) was quite rare, as almost all states, they made the 4 door version here and those like the state were imported. I love the 504 coupe but I think there is not a single one of them here. So I don't think, even on the saloon, that they would've gone to Africa, for several reasons: distance, prices (used cars here are really expensive, I can get the equivalent of 4000 pounds for mine or even a bit more), regulations on shipping cars (don't know about shipping them out, but you just can't import a second hand car), and also there are lots of them still going on our own roads.
The same happened to the 306, 4 and 5 versions made here; 3 door, cc and state brought from abroad.
