“Im sure ROD1 will give you the info on running costs etc”

You will struggle to find a group owned MCR01 in the UK. Lots of Europa groups. I would expect the running costs for a Europa to be about;

Maintenance £600
Insurance £900
Hangarage on a farm strip in the midlands is about £1000 (no idea for your area)

You can keep them on/in a trailer and keep them at home, but this would not work for a group. Some are parked outside, but I am not a fan of parking anything outside if there is an alternative.

Fuel per hour £17

Typical purchase price is £25k to £35k. Some good ones about, some not so good.

You are restricted to daytime VFR.

PM me if you want more.
