SOLD: Super-Angulon 65mm f/8 in a modern shutter

I don't find myself using this as often as I should to justify keeping it, so I'm thinking of parting with this one depending on the demand.
I bought this lens originally from MXV and had the shutter serviced under warranty last year. Its in nice condition, Sinar-selected, no scratches or fungus and minimal dust for its age (1962~ish). Comes with front and rear caps. When I bought it there was a slight catch on the filter threads which MXV sorted out so no problems using a 49mm filter now.
Whats fairly unique about this particular copy is that not only is it in a 0-sized shutter (rather than the usual tiny 00 size) but that at some point its been professionally refitted into a modern Compur 0 shutter (in this case the donor lens was a rodenstock 65mm f/4.5). Always given me sharp shots, and the fact someone went to the trouble to re-shutter it makes me think it must be a good 'un.
If anyone is interested in this lens let me know - I will add some photos tonight. In old 00 shutters these lenses tend to go for anywhere from £100-200, but with this being a Sinar-select in a modern shutter I don't know what its value is really. I'm open to offers, or possibly a swap if anyone has a nice 90mm lens burning a hole in their pocket.
Thanks all.
