You might contact the seller and see if they will ship overseas
P.s. I have no idea if this is different from the P model you are looking for
It's a Bellman CX-25 Stovetop espresso maker and milk steamer. They retail around $130 (new) on Amazon.
They can be a bit kludgy and you can burn yourself pretty bad if you don't keep your wits about you while you're turning the knobs. I have the milk steamer model and I'm pretty happy with the results.
Here is a video of it in action. At minute 1:23, you will see them shut off the espresso valve once the coffee begins to flow. What they are doing is waiting until the pressure builds and they hear the hissing from the relief valve in the handle of the unit. That signals that the Bellman is ready to steam the milk. They shut off the heat, steam the milk, shut off the steam wand and then turn on the espresso knob to tap the coffee.
Like I said, a bit kludgy, but it's a cost effective way to at least gets you in the ballpark of having something that tastes like an espresso.
It's like one of the Bellman espresso makers

Bellman CX-25. I usually only use it for espresso but I have used the steam wand and it works just fine.
It's an espresso maker.

That price range might get you a decent machine that needs a lot of work, if you're handy. You'd need to spend that much again to get a good grinder for it.
Really if you've got to stay in the $150 range, then I'd suggest a Baratza Encore and a Moka Pot. Then you could pick up a cheap french press, heat some milk, and froth the milk by pumping the press quickly.
If you already have a decent grinder, then I'd probably suggest the Bellman CX-25.

None of this gives you "real" espresso but it's pretty close.
