You mention VP and Turbulent. Both should be very cheap to buy, and operate. But hangarage is essential. That will be probably be the biggest annual expence.
Be sure you've got that. Then a prebuy by the LAA Inspector who'll be doing your Permit. Then insure, and buy quickly.
Both these aircraft will be much more weather limited than many others.
(Earlier this year, we, a Syndicate, travelled to inspect one weekend, insured, then payed, by the end of the week. Then I flew it home. A more capable aircraft than your choices, but £15,500.)
The VP1 and Turbulent won't need an instructor familiarisation flight - you'll have a tailwheel/taildragger qualification of course..
