William Town's final car by the looks of things. As is so often the way, a post on here inspires me to carry out an Internet Search. This is what I found.

Slappy Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 This one is a totally new one on me, the Rayton-Fissore Magnum and Laforza. Immediately you'd think low-volume American and you'd be half right, it's an attempt to combine the worst of exterior Italian design, build and electrics, the best of Italian interior design with the worst of American driving dynamics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayton-Fissore_Magnum Somehow they seemed to be made between 1989 and 2003! Bonus Uno rear light content! In many ways it was very ahead of it's time! Yoss and Remspoor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyG Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Interesting, I didn’t know they were a totally Italian design - I assumed they were a heavily modified Cherokee or the like. I can’t get the pic on here, but there’s a facelift mid-blue one at the bottom of the wiki page which looks very much like a 5dr Fiat Uno on steroids!

Remspoor Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Not really a car but a kit based upon a normal production car. Renault 4 Iguana. Company website is rubbish. http://www.iguanakits.com/index.html Comes in three or four flavours. A four door hatchback, a convertible, a panel van and a pickup truck. bunglebus, inconsistant and outlaw118 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUNO Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 No pic, I parked behind a little Suv style car yesterday. it was badged as a Toyota Mooloo . It appeared tp be a Yaris/Vitz with 4 doors and a tailgate. Anyhows the M and L had fallen off which made it a Toyota OO OO.

Thanks for clearing up what this thing is. I‘ve seen one here a few times and could not figure out what it was. I was hoping it was electric though...
