I thought Beechcraft Duke, but I don't think the tail is right.

Well, its very quiet, so its time for a clue:

The production aircraft were not built in the same country that manufactured (and flew) the first prototype.

Closing down for the night now.

Hi Bri, long time no see on the forum.

Close enough, its the Rockwell Commander 700, aka Fuji 300. The prototype was built and flown in Japan in 1975, but assembly of the 32 production aircraft was undertaken in the US.

evansb has control.

Looks like the Rearwin 6000 Speedster?

Open House if correct.
