Hey Graham,
can’t tell about UK but got one to Germany. DHL Express took 1 week. Before it arrived, I got an e-Mail from DHL telling me to pay the import VAT to their account, and after I had done that, the machine was delivered at my home. DHL Express had done the customs declaration.
Search the forum for which VFD I recommend.

PS: The Hitachi WJ-C1(-022SFE) supersedes the WJ-200(-022SF). It is downward-compatible to WJ200.
