Hi Paul

Take your time to find the best example that you can. I am a fellow restorer and collector who has built and restored many historic mvs over the years.
When you figure out the labour and material costs, research etc, it is often times better to take advantage of a complete example rather than a parts machine.
Trust me, I owned 6 UCs at one point in time with only one really being a feasible candidate. Maybe prices in Europe dictate otherwise but here in Canada a person would be hard pressed to get more than $20,000 CAN for a restored carrier.
I will keep a look out for you over on this side of the pond.
