My story is pretty typical. Got the hook in 1989 or therabouts (see car and driver issue with Ernie Elliot Unique on cover). Started subscribing to all kit car mags. Went to car shows, hung out at Cobra Restorers a couple of times. Really was taken with Unique 289 when it debuted in 1992 (?).
About 10 years later making move toward building kit. My wife is not completely sold on my mechanical abilities, and went along with buying a used car I found on EBAY. It took 14 years, but I finally got to scratch the itch.
Mine was the first one I had ever driven.
