By delivering the 100th Mono, Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) celebrated an important milestone in its relatively short, 10-year history.
The car was bought by the Strojer Samlingen museum in Denmark, which already has it on display alongside other unique vehicles. The collection includes James Bond movie cars, models owned by the Danish royal family and a selection of Bugattis, Koenigseggs, McLarens, Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Aston Martins, Porsches and others.

“All of our cars have interesting stories and the BAC is no different. This is a car that me and my family have loved for many years and finally we have the 100th model in our collection”, said the museum owner. “I have never seen before the level of quality of the carbon and the green and gold colors look perfect. We have a real British jewel here.”
Produced at the brand’s Liverpool factory at the beginning of March, the 100th BAC Mono is finished in British racing green and has visible carbon bodywork and golden decals and trim. The ‘Chassis 100’ golden plaque is visible on the seat, while the rest of the interior has a black look with golden stitching.
The Mono is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that delivers 301 hp (305 PS / 224 kW) and 227 lb-ft (308 Nm) of torque. It may not sound like much, but it tips the scales at 580 kg (1,279 lbs), so it has a power-to-weight ratio of 518 hp (525 PS / 386 kW) per ton (2,205 lbs). The 0 to 60 mph (0-96 km/h) acceleration takes 2.8 seconds and top speed is 170 mph (274 km/h), while its track-focused design makes it a real weapon.
