Diamante has never been sold in Australia using that name. Im guessing its a Magna of some kind. You could try:

    OK, looked at the picture in the fist thread. Thats definitely a called Magna in Australia. Is similar to one I owned many years ago (2002 model from memory). Couldnt tell you what model you are looking at though.

      His picture of the Diamante "Magna" has a 3L Mivec engine.
      Australian Magnas didn't come with those engines, did they?

      Holy crap, haven't seen that car in years, thought it disappeared in to the nether.
      Good to see it's still in great order.

      Australia never got the 3 or 3.5l MIVEC engine, or any cars with them for that matter. (Unless you could get Pajero Evos here??)

      Diamante/Sigm is the US/Japanese term for Verada/Magna, they only had Veradas though AFAIK which are like a slightly classier Magna (currently own one myself).
