Hi Jules,
i would be happy to take that little beauty ...
... unfortunately, i don't come to the UK the next days, weeks, months (maybe years), and shipping
will be too expensive :-(
Or is anyone out there, who is incidentally :-) on a trip from the UK to germany and could bring it over
here (maybe near Stuttgart ...) ?

Bernd
