Hi! Yes, Commodore 16 and Plus/4 were available in Hungary,but origianlly at rather high price. I remember, at elementary school 6 (it was 1986 or 1987) I saw in a shop a C= Plus/4 for a whopping 42000 HUF. First I read 4200 and was very happy 
At that time the HUF worth maybe 4-5x more than today, so you may calculate 590€ value in current money.
It was vey very expensive, so my parents bought a C16 in Vienna (it was cheaper there, and treated to be a less serious computer), maybe in 1988. That was expanded to 64K within 1 year.
The 1541/II was bought a little later, I think in 1990, also in Vienna. It was very expansive too, but I do not remember the price any more.
