A Liverpool-based luxury car maker is gearing up for further global expansion after signing a deal to bring the world's first single-seater, road-legal supercar to the Midwest of the USA.
Speke firm Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) has announced the launch of BAC Michigan and the signing an agreement with luxury automotive dealership Platinum Motorcars Detroit (PMC) for its Mono supercar.
Based in Birmingham, Michigan, just north of Detroit, PMC currently offers brands including Bentley, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, McLaren and Porsche.
It will now serve as the exclusive BAC distributor for Michigan and is the only dealership in the Midwest to sell the Mono.
BAC Mono has been exported to more than 40 territories worldwide and already has a strong presence in the USA through certified dealers, including Manhattan Motorcars in New York and Tactical Fleet in Dallas, Texas.
Neill Briggs, co-founder of BAC, said: "Platinum Motorcars is the ideal partner to distribute the Mono. PMC shares our passion, or rather obsession, with driving purity and loving every single minute behind the wheel – and that made the decision easy when it came to joining forces. PMC is our exclusive dealership in Michigan, and the only place you can go in the Midwest to join the BAC family."
"Put simply: we are automotive and racing enthusiasts at our core," added Syed Ahmed, owner of Platinum Motorcars.
"This partnership with Briggs Automotive Company has come together seamlessly, and we know our customers will appreciate the authentically analogue and pure driving experience delivered by these bespoke machines."
