Sorry, but not quite as exotic as a Bizzarini!

It is a kit car that was intended for series production, but I doubt many examples were ever built.

It has many elements from a Sayer M-1, a BMW M-1 clone on a Matra Murena basis (but it's from Germany). The headlights and the wheel arches are customised.

Is it a replica or original design?

It is an original design, although I think it is inspired by the BMW M1.

Alex Thompson's Mystique sound like a 1970s experiemental jazz ensemble :D!  However, that is exactly what this mid-1980s still-born British kit car is called, so a much-deserved point to you Arunas.
