Most late ones are 2004, you may see a 2005 but it would have been sitting in a dealers waiting to be sold for a bit, may have a few extras from the parts bin added to them.

Bit of a bummer as the niggles (fuel pump) with the DTI where sorted and the 2.2 petrol was sorted too, but they stopped production when they got them right :oh yer:

Abit like most other manufacturers get the product spot on and cease production. Its a shame but then again you dont see many of the newer ones around.

They did talk of moving production of the Frontera to Ellesmere Port but costs associated with the move and bringing the design up to a higher NCAP specification was to expensive so they terminated production :oh yer:
