For some info on this particularly original vehicle designed in 84 by the great Tom Tjaarda, you can go to my site: laforzafissore4x4.bravehost.com

I think that for the year (1984) it came out was much ahead of his time for the innovative design that produced many copies like the range P38 model year 94, the ISUZU trooper of the 98, and many other probably less “esthetically successful” design like the Mercedes M and new G (looks like a minivan) and Porsche/Volkswagen Cayenne/Tuareg 20 years later.They still retain many innovation that the Rayton Fissore introduced already 24 years ago, like:
1)Bumpers in composites painted as the body
2) absence of rail gutters over the roof
3)round and smooth shapes
4) luxuries interior completely cover with good quality Leather and wood inlay (Dash,doors panels center console, seats and headliner.
5) absence of heavy and old chrome trims or complex designed panels
6) accesories like electric windows, leather interior, air conditioning, electric mirrors, stereo hiding electrically,electric antenna, a-thermic glasses, fog lights etc..were stock. Most of the competitors had them as expensive optional and some of the leather interior trims were only for the seats!
7) Clean and simple design that make the car still very modern also today.
