Unique does not get much "air-time" over here, since many of the owners spend time on the Unique users forum. It tends to be quieter over there... I guess the down side is that we're not over here to defend the Unique brand every time there is a query as to "the best."
There is clearly a hierarchy in everyone's mind as to the best. No doubt, each will defend their own brand "to the death"
! Is there a best? Hard question. The answer is, "probably, but 'the best' depends on what you are after."
Unique has many good points. It's an accurate reproduction if you are interested in originality. Perfect originality? No. Good customer service? The owners will verify that in no uncertain terms. Good product support. Ditto. They have been around the longest of any Co. currently in business, so they are definitely doing something right.
In the right context, most any of the cars could be the best one for you. We all have our reasons for choosing what we did. Knowing and understanding the reasons you are making your choice will underwrite that choice as the best for you.
My personal take is that Unique is in the class of the more originally accurate replicas, on par with ERA, the older Contemporary, etc., but different. Does that make it better than some other makes? For some people yes, and others no. For me the answer was yes
. I've driven a number of different cars, and the Unique was the best, hands-down.
Don't under estimate the value of being only an hour away from the factory. Invaluable!
Best of luck...
