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! J |

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
