Well, it isn't Japanese and it isn't English - it is Australian.

Kent Town is a suburb right next to the CBD of Adelaide, South Australia
(right next to the former F1 Grand Prix track) - and about 5 or so miles
from my place. I actually believe that is Dutton's Rally signage on its
door - and opentop cars in these rallies are a pain in most areas of the
body.  A roof like that for competition driving would be nice.  

Yes a great roof but I don't know if it was custom made or not but I
seem to remember someone mention something along these lines (I think it
looks great - nice fastback - and if I could find one to fit over my
rollbar and STILL look that nice I would have it in a moment)
