 |  Re: Plus/4 restoration tips
There are a couple of UK members here. And if I remember correctly, there's been some Commodore meeting in Birmingham some years ago.
Yes, here it is:

There are a couple of links in that thread and maybe you can find someone with a plus/4 or C16 near you. It's an old thread but some of the people mentioned there are still active on plus/4 
Otherwise, keep in mind that a C16 is probably cheaper and those chips are exactly the same in all of the 264 series's machines. So if it's just for replacements parts and testing, choose whatever you can get (C16, plus/4 or C116 – though, the latter is hard to find). However, if it's not one of those chips, another plus/4 might be the safest bet – just in case it's something on the board.
About your first computer … That's absolutely understandable! I'm sure many of us here think the same way. I still have my first computer (a plus/4) as well
