That exhaust detail is a classic !

Thats cool!

How many of them were built?

Any in private hands?

Post by **toomanytoys** » 24 May 2007, 14:40

Prototypes only as far as I am aware...

Post by **Boltze** » 24 May 2007, 16:13

I think five were built, some are no more, some are in private hands.

Thats me under the van having a look

Behind it is the last T25 well the last LLE 2500 and behind that a tri-start

The 'Tri-Start' or Tristar is in fact a prototype 'Magma'. If only....

jep, it's the pre-series tristar, they built only one "Magma" doublecab. It's very hard to get some documents of the "Magma" project.

Hmm perhaps there are two as I have seen press photos of what seems to be the same vehcile badged 'Magma' on the front, where the Tristar logo usually is.

I reckon it was the design exercise/taster vehicle for the Tristar exercise.

I have VW's original drawings for it here (same colour but with more cool addons). I love the grille, nudgebar and winch setup.

I love the way the image has been flipped for RHD and they made a right pigs ear of doing the sitcker! totally different to one of the other pictures in the same brochure!

shows you how far computers have come on, in those days it took a couple of weeks to re touch a photo, now some spotty 16 yr old can do it in 5 minutes whilst texting and using msn messenger

@poshbuggers can you send me please the magma/tristar stuff per e-mail? I'm interested in.

Thanks!

Hi, Does anyone know what the alloy wheels fitted to the Tristar are???

They were fitted to my Syncro from new, but have been swapped for BBS type wheels and the originals sold on

I do have one left ( the spare wheel ) But it has no name, just a number which I have had no luck with.

I'm looking for 4 of these wheels if anyone can help. size is 7x16

Cheers Paul.

I think they were made by Rial as I have seen the same design countless times on German Ebay.

Rial were also chosen by VW/Porsche and Audi as a tier 1 supplier.

Have a look on the wheel. It may say Rial somewhere
