I also have a Holdsworth Vision, but as your question relates to the engine rather than the rear kitchen it would be more help if you said what engine you have.

How much to fix it? - How long is a piece of string.
What else needs fixing at the same time?
What caused one of the head gaskets to blow in the first place?

Flat fours don't have "head gaskets" as such..
they have water jacket head seals, and steel cylinder seal rings with an "o" ring.

so does it leak coolant on the drive or does it pressurise the cooling system
