Seems more likely it would be British or Australian. Should be nice and draft free in the cockpit too, with that barn door of a windshield!    :o

This one has to be of Asian descent.

I'm guessing Japan, or possibly South Korea.  The person driving seems too happy to be from China.

Got to be Japanese with right hand drive.  I've seen that front before, and it might be a company that became part of Toyo Kogyo (Mazda).

Whatever happened to QC? anyone else notice the rear quarter trim doesn't match the rest of the side!
