Tony Ditheridge said he wanted the fighter plane to become the next status symbol to a racehorse, demonstrating the buyer had serious spare cash to put into an exciting project.
His firm, Hawker Restorations, which is based at his workshop and home in the remote Suffolk hamlet of Milden, will soon single handedly have doubled the number of flying Hurricanes in the world.
While 14,000 Hurricanes were made - they shot down more than 60% of Nazi Germany's Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain - just eight are today in their former flying glory.
One at Hawker Restorations is ready for anyone who wants to be its next careful owner - but with a £1.4million price tag.
Another, painted in the Battle of Britain colours of Douglas Bader's 242 Squadron, is due to be completed in the summer, ready to be sent to its wealthy American owner. Another, which was found at an Israeli kibbutz, will be ready in a few years.
Mr Ditheridge said restored Hurricanes were so rare because 40,000 hours of work were needed on them, and the internal works were highly complex, with thousands of hand-made and original parts.
The firm also makes machinery tot he original designs, so as to make the authentic parts. The total cost of the parts is £600,000.
Mr Ditheridge said: "As people are becoming increasingly wealthy, they feel they should put their money into tangible objects, hence the investment in historic racing cars and vintage cars generally.
"A Hurricane would give the lucky investor a chance to own a piece of unique British history. Why own a race horse when you can own a Hurricane?"
The firm would offer training, and maintenance and storage of the aircraft.
More than 3,000 Hurricanes were used by the Russians - Mr Ditheridge restored one, which was dredged up from a lake in Siberia, for a New Zealand millionaire.
Among his projects, which include two First World War planes for a Royal Australian Air Force museum, is the remains of the only surviving Yak 1 Russian fighter.
The Second World War plane, which was flown by women pilots know as "Moscow Witches", is mad unusually from a metal frame with wooden wings.
