MultiKord twin 8

I have to down-size the collection of instruments so here's my strange twin 8string guitar for sale. It's a MultiKord with the pedal part chopped off - before I got it, and I never found out why.
It plays well as a twin 8. There are some cosmetic issues to accept, they are:
The "pedal" end has been cut off. Literally, there is about 8inches missing where the mechanism should be but the work has been so well finished that it's hard to see where the cut was made. The tuners are at the pickup end; quite common for the era, several Gibsons as well as the MultiKords were like that. They are covered by brown plastic (bakelite?) covers that have been cracked and repaired.The case is tatty but adequate.
So, it's not particularly pretty, but a good sounding twin 8 and I only want £200 (plus shipping, but you're welcome to come and pick it up) for it.
Here's a picture from the front with one of the tuner covers open.
