Thanks SternjaegerII, kind of what I expected to hear. It's the same story here in the US, as you intimated. A classic aircraft is found, then... silence. A few years later the plane emerges freshly restored with a new owner after much money changes hands.
The same is often true for very high end collector cars.
Ciao.
