$150? A snap! back in the seventies a local here had invested in
Canadian built Tigers when the RCAF got rid of them. He bought them,
crated, for some insignificant amount and in the seventies sold them off
for $7000 each.  Of course, they were in A1 condition!

With a Tiger it would be a labour of love; they are a delightful
aircraft to fly.
