UK based analogue 3 or 6sp C-line or better. Medium or (ideally) Short. Not a Tall certainly.
I haven't got a huge amount of cash but will consider anything up to £800.

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.
