Looks like gull wing doors though

I thought it was a Charger but that is a better looking car....

Another one that's far too easy for the Pro's and won't even last 5 minutes there, but it can't stay in the Experts for ever, so here it is for a giveaway Pro point..

That's the car, yes, though I had it as from 1985 rather than '87.
BJS stands for Ben J. Sparham who designed and built it but unfortunately it never made production past this single one.

Does anyone know if there is a link with this car to the Cygnet Monaco?
The distinctive (…) front end looks very similar.

Besides that they both use Ford Cortina as the base, I doubt that there's any connection between two. Who knows more?

I don't think there was any connection.
Although it looks vaguely similar nothing about it is actually the same; the Cygnet was made originally in Northampton then later  in Wootten by ex-Aston Martin engineer Peter Child.
