The Samba does not have an exceptional reputation, is very small and was built only how many times ? - so it is a rare bird (somebody mentioned Urban Air only built less than 70 airplanes all types all together, so there may be less than 10 Samba in the world), maybe EI-XLA also scared the hell out the owner?, permit expired? why?, why Jabiru engine (just search PPrune for Jabiru experience) instead of the usual Rotax engine -> could be the only one in the world and what does that mean for maintenance?, czech registration aint easy, bankrupt vendor (2010) with "interesting" successor and production in Dubai, needs an ultra-light license instead of PPL ... I doubt it finds its morning fool until in low 4 digit world.
