That's relatively easy, there are about 30 currently airworthy TBM's in North America alone, and the airworthy one that was based in Switzerland has I believe recently sold for a lot less than the advertised price of the one in the ad that NutLoose linked to. With a 'value' of under $500k to buy, but a restoration cost of probably 3 to 4 times that, it will have to be a very dedicated team to undertake another restoration on this. Mind you, the Blenheim team did it, but they are a lot rarer!!!
