Collection only, there’s no way I’m shipping this beauty. I live approximately 15 minutes from junctions 14 and 15 of the M1.

 

Photos on the way but please note, I took the photos myself and I am blind. I’ve tried to capture the bass as best I can so please bare that in mind whilst viewing the photos.
