==Passenger cars in the 1920s== During the 1920s, a 1997 cc sports model was marketed and in some models [[sleeve valve]] engines were used. By the time of the [[Paris Motor Show|19th Paris Motor Show]], in October 1924, Unic were exhibiting three passenger cars.<ref name=Automobilia1925>{{cite journal| title =Automobilia| journal = Toutes les voitures françaises 1925 (Salon 1924)| volume = 72s| pages = 80|year = 2005|publisher=Histoire & collections|location=Paris }}</ref> All had four cylinder engines, although large 4-cylinder engines such as that fitted in the 16HP model were by now seen as rather old fashioned: * Unic "Type L1T" 10 CV/HP: 4-cylinder 1843 cc: wheelbase {{convert|3050|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} * Unic "Type L3T" 11 CV/HP: 4-cylinder 2000 cc: wheelbase {{convert|3050|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} * Unic 16 CV/HP: 4-cylinder 3450 cc: wheelbase {{convert|3450|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} Four years later, at the [[Paris Motor Show|22nd Paris Motor Show]], only one of the two cars on show was fitted with a 4-cylinder engine. This was an evolution of the two-litre model exhibited in 1924, now branded as the Unic "Type L9", with a {{convert|3150|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} wheelbase and usually fitted with [[Torpedo (car)|"Torpedo"]] or "Berline" (saloon/sedan) bodies. However, for the 1929 model year attention was now focused on the company's first 8-cylinder model. The new Unic 14 CV/HP "Type H1" featured a {{frac|2|1|2}}-litre straight-8 power unit and sat on a substantial {{convert|3460|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} wheelbase. It was priced at 55,000 francs in bare chassis form.<ref name=Automobilia1929>{{cite journal| title =Automobilia| journal = Toutes les voitures françaises 1929 (Salon 1928)| volume = 84s| pages = 80|year = 2006|publisher=Histoire & collections|location=Paris }}</ref>
