Can someone tell me...?

Hello guys,

I have seen a 1980's to early 1990's Peugeot. It is medium-sized model. Does anyone have an idea of what it is called?

My dear sister had two medium sized Pugs at about that time - a 309 then a 306; both were leased (three year leases), so were brand new! She had just returned to District Nursing (though I think is has some other title now) and, apart from a Polo about six years ago, preferred the Pugs - and bought her last one (which was at the end of its lease) when she retired last year.

Could it be a 405? Still in use in the private hire trade in huge numbers though many are suffering now from splaying of the rear suspension, which seems to be the factor that, even more than rust, sends these solid, dependable Pugs to the bridge.
Here's a saloon version:

and here's the legendary Mi16 4x4:


Aren't these more Autoshite than Practical Classics material though?

I have seen a 309 and that is the answer to my question, thank you guys.
