One would make an interesting conversation piece at fly-ins, but
they'd have to be cheap! Get to the US, refurbish and get it
certified to fly.

If my conversions and calcs are correct that comes out to about 11.5#
sq ft wing loading at gross. Quite light.

I wonder what it'd take to get one here.

From my email conversation with them, they (guys in Holland) don't own
them, they are making a bid on them (planes in Israel) themselves...

I think I received a copy of that.
The planes are interesting, but not a collectors item. Although from
the wing loading, I'd guess they are one whale of a short field plane.
There's just over 10 sq ft in one sq meter so multiply the ing area by
10 and divide by the weight multiplied by 2.2 to get lb per sq ft.

OTOH I didn't take time to look up the engine size.

At any rate I wouldn't think they'd bring much of a price, but I could
be wrong.
