If max aperture is really criitcal to you then maybe the Sigma 100-300 as has been suggested but even that only has a max aperture of F4, is not cheap and somwhat heavy. F2.8 limits one very much to a 70-200. For a good alround general purpose though I still reckon the Da green band 55-300 is a good option to consider.
Just a thought.

They also had this, a Pentax 135mm F2.5 Super Takumar at £79.00 https://www.ffordes.com/p/SOR-42-046072/pentax-m42/135mm-f25-super-takumar It's an older version not the cult 6 element job but excellent value I think given its Mint- condition.

What I like about Vintage Classic is that I've always found their descriptions very accurate. They appear to take a pride in their sales.
I won't be buying because I too already have a lovely copy.

My wife and I went to Brooklands many moons ago, great memories. I like these images, they show the cars as works of great engineering skill / art. Sculptures if you like.
Thanks for posting.
I have similar feelings about modern vs vintages lenses. Modern lenses like modern cars might be faster and sharper but vintage lenses have character and soul, qualities I would choose anyday over fast and modern.
Maybe one day we will have vintage lens rallys.
PS Lovely photo's

It's heart sinking feeling when this happens and you have my greatest sympathy so good luck and best wishes with the repair or in sourcing a replacement.
