Appears to be a Toyopet SB, possibly modified for some specific purpose. For example, here is a nearly-identical SB that has been modified for use as an "Interactive Taxi":

You're about there with that; it is a taxi version of the SB but I need to know its designation and builder for the point.
Locked for you!

You're just one letter away from its designation gte4289, and the builder is not difficult.
But it's been locked now for nearly 2 weeks so if you don't want to have another stab at it I'll have to open it up again soon...

OK, this is unlocked.
We've established that it is a taxi version of the Toyopet SB, so what is needed now is its full designation and its builder.

I'll take that as a typo barrett as we've already established that it's the taxi version of the SB (not the SD..) hence it's an SBX.
Kanto is right so it's your point.
Well done.
