SCSAstro sell the Orion XT8.
Orion SkyQuest XT8 Classic - SCS Astro
It seems a bit expensive to me though, a skywatcher 200p (same optics and made in the same factory) is about £60 cheaper.
Dobsonians - Skywatcher Skyliner 200P Dobsonian
I've always found Sherwoods to be a decent shop too.

I got my XT10i from SCS Astro, but they were a bit slow replying to email questions at times.
I've purchased various things from First Light Optics (including my C6-SGT XLT) and found them to have very good prices, and generally friendly and helpful.Orion XT10i Dob / Celestron C6-SGT XLT on CG5-EQ
Low-Profile Crayford+AccuFocus
Baader Hyperion 13mm 68deg, Adler Optik Skarp 38mm(32x)2"
Orion Shorty-Plus 3 El. 2xBarlow
