You can't even give CRT TVs away in the UK...
I'm not sure what power supply PAL sets from Europe use, but if you get one from the UK, then it's 230v, that will need some sort of step up transformer. Try eBay, but expect the shipping to be expensive. There are also old computer monitors that take scart connections, off the top of my head, I think the Commodore 1080 and 1084 work for PAL when using the RGB connections. Best to do some research if you decide on a 1080 or 1084 just to make sure it supports all the different inputs.
As for using newer TVs, try looking into up scaler units such as the XRGB-mini Framemeister. I know you said cost was an issue, but that's probably the best solution for what you need.
