It looks as though Sector111 is now selling the BAC Mono in the US.  List starts at $130,000.

Thanks for reminding me to look for updates on the 111 site.
The initial press release was short on details.

Exclusive
Only 12 imported into US as SKDs in 2012
half of the allocations are currently spoken for
Assembled by ASE certified, BAC factory trained techs at Sector111
partially built from BAC sourced NorthAmerican content
Sold as Track Use only

Imported as Semi Knock Down packages, but billed as track only.

Rather have the caparo. As long as it came with a fireproof suit.
