Want to buy a PO-2?

Surfing about I found this interesting listing. 149k doesn’t sound to bad!

Ah, me… without my chequebook at hand…. Alas!

Just reading the description, it would seem that the aircraft is restored from various bits. The TBI instrument is said to date from 1942; the engine is an M-11FP (likely ca. 1950s); the air screw from 1954. The original rear cockpit components did not include any secondary controls, which would point towards a military version of some type (recce, photographic, or even a light night bomber). However, these items have been installed into this restored aircraft, causing it to conform to the basic training variant of the U-2/Po-2.

Looks impressive.
