If I'm not mistaken, this vehicle was imported to America sans powertrain, fitted with a Ford V8, and sold as the Laforza. For more info, check out this article I found while looking for pics: Laforza Road Test (http://www.sandiegometro.com/1999/may/roadtest.html)

Below: A Laforza. Not hi-res, but the best I could find.

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.

I've seen one of those in bright red, with bumpers coloured red, too. Don't remember if it was Rayton or Magnum (though, the latter is more possible), but it looked way better than on pics.

so now we know who we have to blame.....

Well, what to say henk4,..... you definitely have a higher standard of beauty in car design then me, since you drive a master peace of the contemporary automobile design like the Citroen C5 break.:o
Definitely a jewel of pleasing appearance with some reminiscence of the perfect creation of all, “THE EGG”:confused:

Faksta, it is actually truth that this particular car do not show so well in pictures. Must be the volume and proportion that do not show correctly on the paper but it is definitely more way more impressive in reality.
Some cars are not photogenic.

People can't always buy their cars based on how they look like. That's pretty much the thing with the C5. It might not be gorgeous, but it is a good car, with a good value for money, pretty echonomical and practical.
In my opinion, the Rayton Fissore is also an ugly car. But everyone is entitled to their opinion.

thank you for the images, but I would suggest you the attachments system next time.
beside, these images aren't high res enough (1024 is the minimum required for this section of the forum as stated), but again, thanks for sharing. :)

after all, you made a good entrance, welcome on board :)

and nice pictures!

Sorry for not posting hi res... I found this Magnum tread and wanted to show my own car. In addition I've got a 1970 Alfa 1750 GT V, a 2002 Alfa GTV, a Lancia Prisma and a Lancia Dedra Integrale. I will post some photo's of them later.

I love the Rayton Fissore Magnum :)

Hi Marco (e benvenuto a bordo ;))!
are you considering tuning parts or replacing some ruined or old parts with new one? hope the second btw :)
Unfortunately, I don't know very much about this car, even if I remember seeing quite a few when I was a kid (not so much ago...), so probably there are some donors hidden somewhere just waiting...

[Ferrer]

Well, 2.0 volumex sounds like the supercharged Fiat/Lancia engine. Therefore if you need engine parts I'd suggest to contact with a local Fiat/Lancia specialist.
