I have a Manuel 3.2 special 2004 , but thought it should have been called a base , looking to buy another 3.0 or 3.2 but would need to be Manuel
-
3.2 wasn't available as a manual in retail form.Only as a special as mentioned above.
3.0 was available in manual in retail spec, although not that common.
-
;D with a special diff I bet :o
Couldn't resist. ???

Hardly any left now in the Uk, no offence, but most of them ended up in NI and ended up getting destroyed.
The 3.2 Specials (Ex Plod) Manuals had the stronger R30 Boxes fitted, the 3.0 Manuals were standard box, having said that both were difficult to destroy.
There are some 3.0 Manuals around, not necessarily Ex Police, but as said not many, mostly MV6 Flavor.

Took me a few years to find the one I have now I like it that much I want a yard full of them ::)

I had a Yard of them, well, kind off, they were kinda scattered all over the place really, 8 Ex Plods in total over the years, 5 x 3.0 (1 of them was Auto) and 3 x 3.2 (1 of them was also Auto). Down to just 2 now, both 2003 3.2 Manuals, one of each, 1 Saloon and 1 Estate. ;)
Last time I checked think there was something like 7 x 3.2 Manuals left in the UK either Taxed or Sorn, not sure how reliable the Data is though and or whether it includes Ni or ROI. :-\
All I need to do now is give them a good Valet, find a old Barn off the beaten track somewhere, a couple of buckets of dust and cobwebs over them and I'll be in the money. ;D
-
It certainly wont include ROI as it isn't in the UK,but should include Norn Irn, as it is. :)

Do know what I was actually thinking that while I was typing it but my finger still hit the post it button. ;D :y
