LONDON: Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) has set up a dealership in Taiwan to sell at least five of its Mono supercars a year.

BAC had previously been exporting its Mono supercar direct to buyers in Taiwan.




BAC Taiwan will sell the Mono from Taipei and Kaohsiung, which are near to racing circuits.

The Longtan National Speedway is less than an hour from the capital, while Taiwan’s most famous track, Penbay International Circuit, is 45km from Kaohsiung.

BAC Taiwan was launched as part of another big deal for the British manufacturer, as it renewed its contract in Asia for two years.



BAC Hong Kong caters to Mono fans from Hong Kong and China as well as Taiwan, and it will continue to do so on 12- and 24-car deals until the end of 2018.

Managing director of BAC Hong Kong, Duncan Lee, said: “We are delighted to sign a new deal with Neill and Ian Briggs and the guys at BAC. BAC Hong Kong has been a huge success since it opened in late 2015 and interest in Hong Kong, China and Taiwan has been growing. We’re  looking forward to catering for demand across the territories and distributing more Monos over the next two years.”

"Having a specialist dealer in a country (Taiwan) where the Mono isn’t road-legal is testament to just how impressive a machine it is and just how competitive it is as a track car," said BAC co-founder and product development director Neill Briggs,

The Liverpool-based car maker has exported the Mono to 28 markets worldwide.
