- čas přidán 29. 09. 2018
- Paul and Tiff get behind the wheel of possibly the most unique road cars ever built; the BAC Mono from Briggs Automotive Company. With race car looks and hyper car performance, this single-seater supercar certainly ticks all the right boxes on paper. Driving a duo of Monos into the hills of Wales, before really seeing what they can do on track at the incredible Anglesey circuit.
Thanks to the whole team at BAC and for more check them out here: www.bac-mono.com/

You've found your niche with unusual and different content, and the credibility Tiff brings - there are a gazzillion channels for AMG, RS, M Sport, Lambo's, McLaren's, Pagani's, Bugatti's et al. Whilst there is no dispute that they are all fabulous cars, it's content like this that I absolutely love.
This channel is becoming something really special. Love that you are doing relaxed, straightforward, easy to digest content. After watching you feel good.
Thank you very much for the nice comments. So glad you approve
I've not heard from Tiff in quite a while. This bit is really well done!! Is he a regular on this channel? He has always (with a bit a entertaining theatrics occasionally) presented an accurate, informative road test, regardless of who he was reporting for. Tiff is always worth watching... even if the car might be questionable. ;^)
Smashed it again guys! That looked so much fun!
Thank you!!
Finally! A new BAC Mono video, and driven by Tiff!
Hope you enjoyed!
This channel just gets better and better. Yeah baby yeah.
Thank you!!!!! 😬
Came back to look at this again. 3 years ago and your guys are still making great content. Great stuff.
Keep growing with the channel your work is more than appreciated
Looks like you were living the dream in the Mono, perfect weather, roads and track! Great channel, really enjoying it.
Thank you very much Kev!
Incredible video guys, maybe a tiny little bit jealous ;-)
As are we with almost every video we watch of yours!!!
I kept thinking, what if a car in front sends a huge rock right in the BAC's face. I would hesitate to drive it on motorways however short of distance.
You’re right. Think anything other than around town should be with a helmet 👍
Its kind of like riding a motorcycle without a helmet
Much like a motorcycle, never drive it without some sort of effective eye protection! Not to say that a helmet isn't an excellent idea; much more comfortable and much easier to pay attention to your driving. As fast as that little bugger is, I'd want to pay attention!!
I've been a huge fan of the Mono since I first saw it, watched and read everything I could find about the company and development of the car. It's also one of the absolute best cars to drive in various driving sims, which I guess is a pretty accurate representation. Clicked immediately when I saw this video go up because I knew your channel would do it justice with great quality content as usual.
Thank you very much for the nice comments!
The ownership isn't quite as pleasurable. They shake themselves to bits, not a problem for a race car you strip between races, but it evolves into a Morgan. Bare carbon undertray looks good but damages easily, go for a wrap or painted. There is no warranty and spare parts are embargoed by BAC so even though you could buy them directly from the supplier such as joints, springs, brake rotors etc as you would for any Formula Ford/Audi or single seater they won't sell them, not because they are bespoke, but BAC forbids the suppliers selling to owners. So basically they charge Ferrari prices for Ford parts and you have to get them from Liverpool rather than your countries supplier.
I just saw this episode. Definitely one of your guys best episodes. Well done!
Thank you very much. You can probably see we really enjoyed it too. 1 day filming on road, town and track is challenging - but it all came together for this one!
The most beautiful road i've seen so far, so beautiful
I had a picture of that car on my wall for ages. One of my favourite cars of all time....👍
Awesome bit of filming, congrats @lovecars!
I know my day is going to go well when it starts with something new with Tiff!
Good to hear Tanner. Hope the video didn't disappoint!
what an impeccable review of this wonderful fun car!... Good onya guys!
Another brilliant video. Love how content is so different 👌
Thank you very much Matt
This channel is absolutely amazing! Good job!
Thank you very much. We appreciate your kind words
hey! landed here more/less by accident (searching for BAC Mono content), and I very rarely comment on anything, but this was one of the best content I've seen in a long time! Subscribed, and will do the good ol' bingewatching to catch up. Cheers
Thanks for the lovely comment. So glad you found us!
Love this !!! Another great watch
Thank you very much 👍👍
Wonderful video chaps!
Thank you Alan!
Wow incredible experience and video! Definitely a dream one day! Thank you for sharing great content involving car video legends.
Hi Caleb. thank you for the nice comments.
Best car channel by far !! No rich guys buying cars each month with their parents money and smug smiles. Keep it up guys get Vicky on the show too!
Despite the fact there was no stopwatch involved it was still a great video. Well done!
Thank you. Didn’t want to focus on lap times... more about the whole experience
That looks like the most fun you could possibly have in a car my goodness!
Fantastic!! If I had the means, I would definitely pick one up. Keep them coming guys!!
thank you. Loved making this one!
TIFF was tiffing around in this car! looks fun as hell
Ha! Yes lots of fun. Big smiles all day
The mono is AWESOME. What a thing. One day... that'll be my track car. (EDIT... ive just seen the price. Ehm... no)
Ha! Maybe still one day Chris!
Worth every penny! They don't depreciate much either, so it doesn't cost much at the end
I still don't understand why people dislike that kind of videos aha. You just can't, that car is nuts, that's the definition of pleasure
Now that was a good review on the Mono 👍
top quality Paul! Congrats
Thank you Karl. Big team effort!
That’s one of the best videos you guys have made in my opinion - good work.
That's nice of you to say. Thanks very much Michael
Lovecars - You’re welcome. The Mono is one of my absolute dream cars so this video was like automotive pornography - from the detail shots of the car, the factory/assembly line to the sheer joy of driving they obviously give. Lucky lads. 👍🏻
Come and join us on a shoot one day
Lovecars - I’d be more than happy to! If you could put together a GT4 vs Elise/Exige feature too that would be outstanding!
Awesome video. Greetings from Brazil. 👍👍
Saudações! Pleasure to have you here
Was lucky enough to visit Anglesey Circuit while in the UK last weekend, what a beautiful track.
Especially if you get lucky with the weather!
Best car channel EVER. Would love to drive the mono with full moon on an empty mountain road....
Thank you very much as always Tuco! And yes, that drive sounds like perfection!
So nice to see that we still make something in the U.K. that is completely bonkers...
Wonderful...x
Thank you and agree!
Welcome back .💎
Thank you!!!! :)
Another fine video - thanks!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Met a few guys from BAC before, great guys
Yes top team!
Excellent again, God bless BAC for doing their thing! As for what's next, how about reviewing BMW M cars, past and present, and deciding on the one you would want to keep.
That's a nice idea with the M cars!
Lovely footage. Well done.
Thank you very much Eddie
Well done Tiff and the people behind it!
Thank you very much
No problem, Paul is doing great as well!
"Are you going to fit in there at your age?" Lol I can only imagine Tiff's response that got trimmed out. Nice work, great video.
He doesn't like the age jokes... but Paul's not that far behind!
@@lovecarsTV Lol, good comeback
Absolutely gorgeous
8:41 "bigger windscreen"
I think they should have a retractable windscreen that you can push down (to where it is at 8:41) and can pull up so it's sticking up enough to provide realistic protection from wind/bugs without needing a helmet.
I want me a money tree for xmas... and a weekend on the Nordschleife in one of these amazing pieces of british engineering
Good call!
I positively loved this.
Really glad to hear this. Thanks
At the track tiff is talking about stiff suspension and grip while Paul is talking about the beautiful view and evening!
The Caterham was always my favorite. Then this came, just as nice and awesome, but more modern. The Mono is so beautiful. Imagine driving one of those for a day around on the highlands? (I live in Finnmark, Norway, great highland roads)
Would love to drive those roads
The shopping scene didn’t make the cut haha!? Great video guys. Glad you enjoyed your day! Great to work with you all
It was a fun scene but in the end wasn’t really in keeping 😐 Thanks for all of your help!
No idea how I managed to do so many typos in that previous message ha. Keep it up guys 👌🏼
Awesome content - great video - take a trip to Hethel and enjoy some Lotus vehicles from the Lotus stable to recognize 70 years of the awesome brand - and its new Elise, Exige and Evora weapons 👍🏼
Good suggestion! That would be awesome
He's never getting old.
Try spending a day with him....
Lovecars seeing him in fifth gear for me, was so much fascinating that I used to search how to get in the show.
He is a top bloke and we're very lucky to have him on our channel
Having Fun in a BAC......Bleeding Awesome Car. Would love to test one ☝️ myself.
Paul & Tiff you are funny👍🇦🇺
Come and test one with us one day!
Tiff's a testament to the fact that age is just a number. Man's still got it!
🤴
Just brilliant !!! ❤️
Thank you! Loved the cars!!
I want this thing more than I can express...
Tiff as usual is awesome.
Brilliant vid as always ! Why wasn’t Anglesey Sunny when I was last there for a track day ? Lol
loool! the sun can make it the prettiest, most beautiful circuit in the world ... or the worst place in the world!!
The Mono has really grown on me!
It was BRILLIANT!
Awesome video 😁👍
Thank you Adam 👍
Would love to see the mono take on an arieal atom and ktm on the track. Awsome video guys from 👌South Africa
I want a BAC Duo
Gud luck guys ... good work
Thank you very much
great vid!
thank you very much!
Very nice video.
Which will you say is the better car to leave with ,
This
Crossbow
Aria aton.
I will say the aton cause you get to see everything working as you drive please I love the Honda engines.
They are all very unique. Loved our time with the Mono 👍
170k is a steal!! future classic for sure like Zonda
Good chance!
Tiffs favourites video would be cool, like 4-10 cars Tiff has always loved driving.
Sounds interesting but very difficult to produce
Good on you guys for just keeping it simple with the cinematography. Sick of wannabe shows pushing out tacky attempts at snazzy shots. Keep it classy 👍
Such a cool car!!!! I want one.
Agree!
That looked so much fun. I just need to win the lottery and maybe cut down on the pies!!
Like your thinking!!
Awesome. 👍
Thank you Trent!
What a brilliant little car! Was that Anglesy?
Yes Anglesey. Beautiful circuit. Long way from home though!!
4:06 hahaha...😀😁😂 Tiff you are a legend!!
He's not too bad!! 😁
thanks👍
The Ultimate Road car... outstanding engineering. GR8 LOOKS. Probably the closest thing 2 a F1 CAR....that is Road legal.
Just Gorgeous.
I'm SO disappointed you didn't take the pink one!! :((
2:09 You said "come on over here" and the camera show the pink car..
That thing looks gorgeous.
Ha! the pink one did look amazing!
Quality content again. What about a front number plate though?
Thank you! And think they fell off...
Imagina se colocassem um V12 nesse carro, se conseguissem uma litragem até uns 3.0 seria absurdo, o melhor carro pra rua da década
I'd love to be a member of Tiff's Mono gang.
Need one.
😎👍
Wow!
Hope you enjoyed it!
6:03 Tiff's 1990s vintage race helmet is the dog's... :-D
He’ll appreciate that 👍
Nice cinematography but very little technical info on the car and no oversteer from Tiff!?
Hi Patrick. We only had 40 mins on track. Would've loved to see Tiff go a little sideways. Hopefully next time!
So because there were actually two cars we got to hear their lovely exhaust notes in "stereo"
HA! That's very true! 😁
This is the Best car in the summer.i thinks.
The sheep don’t have tails where I live.
🙀
Good it doesn't rain much in the UK. Oh wait.
Hahahaa! :)
Big boys with big toys.
There should be a league that races just these.
Tiff is the Micheal Jackson of Automotive Journalism. Thank you for putting him in a car and pointing the camera.
Thank you!!!
Whatching you guys, feels like there is no such kind of script
What’s the song towards the beginning?
Needs a 20B PP!
Its a shame that i can only like this video once
Haha what a brilliant comment 👍
I would love to see the new Dallara
Good call. Not sure we can pull this one off but will try!!!
Pls dont retire Tiff
My favourite car from Forza.
This and the LaFerrari are not exactly competing with one another
Hi, thanks for the comment. For sure but they’re both about driving pleasure. It was a very basic example. Do you need to spend 10x the money to get a less exciting experience. It’s all very subjective of course 👍
You're right... the Mono beat the P1 by 4.9 seconds around this same track and the P1 beat the LaFerrari in a shootout (in which Tiff drove). In other words, they aren't competing with one another because the BAC Mono out-performs the LaFerrari by a long shot.
Doesn't the p1 have dry power to weight of 647 and 593 kerb weight bhp per tonne
