I wonder when that was?
In today’s post covid mad panic inflated market (which has started to collapse but there is a long way to go) sellers drive a hard bargain.
If I sort things out with the authority, what Experimental would you recommend?
I suspect it would have to be in EASAland. Maybe in Romania.
Jodel?

EASA would be great. Romania is pretty limited.
Thank you for the suggestion. I looked briefly at Jodel and most of them are registered as ultralights, are there some that can be flown with PPL?
Most Jodels are not microlights. But most for sale may be DR1050 has a MAW of 740 kg. The D140 is much larger.. D150 and D11 and D120 are also SEP..
But old wood and fabric aircraft need a careful prebuy.
(I flew 1000+ hours in a DR1050 built from 2 wrecks, whose broken mainspar had been correctly spliced. We sold it in 2020.)
Remember:
Fly your rented plane four hours. Note the engine runs rough. Go home.
Fly your own plane for four hours. Top up fuel. It’s due a 50 hor check, which you are qualified to do. Remove cowls and drain oil. Change oil filter. Replace oil drain plug. Lockwire filter and drain plug. Refill. Do the rest of the specified 50.hour.checks. replace cowl and anything else you removed. Make logbook entry. Do engine run-up and airtest. The engine is still running rough.Remove cowls. Remove and check all 8 sparkplugs. If all clean, seek other cause.
33+ years ownership. Permit is much cheaper, because you can do so much yourself. December 2021 I drove home hypothermic after working. Similar to drunk driving but not detectable. January 2023 I paid firm to do a day work
The basic service is usually within pilot maintenance privileges.
