It’s easier to start at a high price and be bid lower than the other way round.

£2million ? Perhaps they know the warbird market better than most! Apart from public auctions, it is very are to find out at what price deals were actually done.
However, they (website ) are under the impression that there are just seven airworthy Hurricanes.

Have you got the funds?
Just seen an advert for this Spitfire in the latest edition of Pilot.
It’s also on the Classifieds page of their website (it’s on the second page – you’ll need to scroll down towards the bottom of the page) :

Potential buyers should be prepared to offer in excess of £2 Million!
More info on the aircraft here:

A change of ownership is in progress as the previous owner has died.
Sorry to hear that.
I’m surprised the piece in AM didn’t mention this.
I seem to recall he and another of his aircraft featured in one of Pilot magazines ‘Buyers Guides’ a few months back.
EDIT: Just found this thread that mentions the owners passing:

There was a picture and a few words in the news section of the latest Aeroplane Monthly, and it looked like it was nearing completion.
However, I don’t know how long ago the photo was taken, so things could have moved on since then. It did look nice in it’s Dutch scheme, and should make a nice companion at displays for PV202. 🙂
However, the piece did mention that it was up for sale, so it’s possible it might go abroad. 🙁
Maybe one of our resident Spit experts has more info!
