Unique Motorcars

[mike geddes]

Hi there Road Warrior.
I've had a Unique 427 since 1991.
Built in my own garage with regular hand tools.
Sprayed it myself with high aluminum solid content paint...looks like a raw metal body.
Took me about 18 months to finish, but I was working on it when my kids
were a lot younger and I did not get to the garage till 9 or 10 at night.
I never spent more than 3 hours at a stretch working on it....except for the
painting.
Great car....great kit....hand laid glass....all the parts arrived on time,
no back orders....great support from the Weavers at Unique, although with the quality of kit and the 3 sheets of build instructions I got I only neede to
call them once.
Frame is great...2 x 4 box section.....check the difference in protective metal
behind a Unique gas tank to a FFR kit......The FFR will scare you.
Only one point where I think FFR has it over a Unique....they have nice rolled
edges on the fenders..... on the ones I've seen anyway.
I live in Canada and have hit quite a few wild animals on our highways and byways....biggest one was a massive beaver....not a crack to be found in the
fibre glass.....gotta love that car.....I think all Unique owners love their cars.
Cheers..........Mike
