Does this exist?
Thinking about purchasing another aircraft and to tick all the boxes it needs to be the following:-
- 4 seats so I can take the wife and kids away for odd weekends.
- On an LAA Permit so I can do my own work.
- Tailwheel / Vintage as I really enjoy these types most.
- Price ideally up to circa £40k....
Does such a thing exist? Cant seem to find anything ticking those boxes...
Regards

Have you considered a Cessna 195? !947 tail-dragger with 4 seat capacity and a nice big round iron engine. Can be sourced in the States, and a nice one will cost in the region of $70k.

SF260 is somewhat off the criteria but I already have a Cassutt for zooming around at 200+mph and I'm planning on keeping that!
This is a family barge I'm after for weekends away and for those lazy summer afternoons pootling around low and slow and visting local grass strips etc......(you can tell I've been flying a SuperCub of late!)
Fuji and C195 are both CofA and the Fuji is not really what I'm after, I was flying a G1000 C182T until recently and whilst its great as a tourer I didnt really enjoy actually flying it that much.
There must be something? Have to say Jodels dont realy do it for me but something like a 4 seat Luscombe on a permit would be perfect...
I shall keep searching.....

The vast majority of these aricraft are not on a permit!
Pa20/22 and 14 probably should be - but are not. Ditto Stinsons. You might find a D140 right at the top (or possibly beyond this price range). The obvious answer is Auster. Most of the larger ones are at least 3 seats some are 4 - particularly the Lyco powered ones.
Start with the list in CAP747 for the A listed aircraft and then try and discover which types have been allowed to switch to an LAA permit rather than staying with a CAA CofA...
Would be handy if the LAa published a full listing of permit types but I do not think they do - only the homebuilt types with TADS and that is not complete.
