I'd say that it could have a greater price tag but would cost more to restore than the Fury etc because of the lack of know how/parts/drawings etc. As for the last two points I don't know where the OFMC machine was restored and I only know that 'Getch's' example is maintained by the man himself and he seems to be 'the man' when it comes to getting one running correctly. There is a firm in the US who rebuilt the former Morgan machine and that ran well until the unfortunate events at Sywell. As for a company I've heard little good about, Riccardos are not held in high regard by the owners and other warbird people I've spoken to over the years and not just for Centaurus' either.
