I believe this seires was/is shot in Australia. I don't think these models were marketed at the Diamante in Australia.

model origin should be Australia, fully aus designed. Like: /vehicle_182556-Mitsubishi-Magna-TH-1999.html. should also be 1999 [TH]

NOT a TJ Magna! :no: This is an earlier model (the TJ had a completely different bootlid, tail lights, and also dispensed with the chrome trim around the window frames). Also, model origin should be Japan. Built in Australia.

Er, I think you mean Australian built. It was designed in Japan.

If not TJ, which model is it?

antp - the original Magna (1985-1991) was developed specifically for the Australian market (by widening an existing JDM model). However, subsequent models were not - they were simply re-badged Sigmas and Diamantes. This is not a [TJ] - that model was from 2000-2003 only. This one appears to be a 1996-1999.

"broadly based on the pillar-less Japanese Diamante", it looks more than just a rebadging

It is more than just rebadging, but the differences are not drastic. Many Japanese cars that are exported have differences compared to the JDM versions, but the country of origin is still listed as Japan.

Also, VIC plate PIU770 returns: 1998 model. This makes it a [TF] Magna, not a [TE].
