agree  Mr Murray (X): Seems the most likely. The only doubt I have is if it's 'unique' the 'unico' should be after 'modello.' When 'unico' is in front, it is a quantifier - 'single' as in 'one.' But in context, I'd use 'unique,' no one would enter a 'single' in a 'collection.'

  -> Thanks Mr Murray, I certainly get what you mean, but Angi specified, that it seemd to be a very special item, unique in this sense, and that's what I imagined and understood. And if this is the Italian meaning I suppose it's "unique" in English, but..

one only model - a unique piece / one only piece


Explanation:
io direi così

secondo me unico non si deve tradurre uguale nelle due frasi. Però, se nella seconda frase unico significa "uno solo" allore si ripete "one only"

neutral  Kate Chaffer: only one maybe, not one only (or you could say one model only)
3 mins
  -> Yes, right.
agree  Alison Curran: I agree that different translations are needed but it should be "only one model", not "one only model" which does not sound correct. "A unique piece" works well imo.

  -> Yes, thank you.
