A Hard Case for a large scope or lots of Astro Equipment

As the title says, it's a case. I originally sourced this for my first refractor, sold the scope a while back, and since then have been using it for storage of my superfluous astro gear. Long story short, my current refractor has it's own case from the manufacturer, and this case won't fit into my car... (obviously I need a bigger car).

The exterior dimensions when closed (in millimetres) are:

380W x 1220L x 290H.

The interior dimensions (mm) are:
Base: 350W x 1190L x 200H
Lid: 350W x 1190L x 60H

It has 30mm thick foam lining all but one edge of the lid (see pic). The interior dimensions are absolute ie 'as if the foam was absent'.

The case has 4 locks down one side (I never had keys for these), 6 hinges on the other and 2 handles at each end. It's not that heavy, at a guess ~5kg. (I dont' have a set of scales that work currently). It's a type of hard plastic - don't ask me what type, I have no idea.

One of the photo's has an NEQ6 tripod in it only to give a perspective of size, the tripod is not for sale.

Would prefer a pickup, but am happy to post, but I'm guessing the postage would be costly.

Asking $350 ono. (+postage)

cheers
