Never mind the Mono !

They say the BAC Mono is for those with no friends ..

The rest of us need one of these !
That must seem pretty weird travelling in this ...

It's a Caparo.

I have been in one.

It was amazing if a little tight.

However, the first time I tried one (at Goodwood), all three either crashed or broke down

no Caparo on the pics here, it's an old modified F1 from a French track School/experience or perhaps you mean that's a Caparo needed for 2 seater extrem car ?

Apologies...

Monza is correct.

It was very early on a monday morning and my eyes were only half open...

the mono never did it for me but this does look far better than the mono - even has an interesting lighting arrangement

Having said that this is just a one off, I permit to disagree and still prefer the Mono.
