Harvey,
Sorry but I know that my AD has not got one, as I was there only last week.
But I do know that he sold one to another forum member only last weekend.
If this is of any use.
Also you could try George Pragnells in Stratford - upon - Avon.
PM sent

Harvey

Dipples in Norwich have a preowned K series BLRO....not a scratch on it.

I had a look at it on Tuesday. It's in perfect nick....£2250....with papers and service papers but not original box...maybe get it knocked down to below 2?

Ask for Chris...he's a top fella!

Nothing in Edinburgh - I might have be reckless enough to buy it if I'd seen it...

Good luck with the purchase and we want pics!

hey bo, to be honest i didnt ask but the AD did say it had been in the safe for just 3 months...so im not sure.

im just over the moon ive managed to source one. i prefer the old one over the new one, as im not overly keen on the RBR or the shiny centre links...the slightest scratches would have driven me loco
