I'll give you the point for identifying the car and builder/designer.
However I'll offer another point if anyone can tell me the year it appeared AND any further information regarding the base car, engine, etc. (I know the year but don't know any further details)

1982 is also the year I have.
That plus the extra information gives you the extra point.
