Bruno -
showmans do pop up on ebay europe (esp germany) from time to time,
and some USA sellers ship to Europe as well. it'll cost you, but so
will the 15" twin.
IF you're going to order, do you know www.thomann.de ? they have it
for E1300 and ship very cheap, it's a great internet store.

Bruno,
I have one. It is fine for surf...lots of clean headroom, as you would expect
from an 85-
watt Fender amp. Lots of bass response, a bit more tightly focused bass than a
standard
Twin. Overall, it is a surf amp to cherish and worship. However, if you don't
love its 15"
Eminence speaker, you will have hell finding a substitute 4-ohm speaker in that
size.
