Manual Omega's are not that common in general, always more auto's around. And yes, manual Elite's are even rarer. There are always some around, but not many.

There's actually one manual elite, it's a 2.2 diesel. But the 2.2 dti only came in manual form whatever model that engine was specified with.

I've got a 2003 manual 2.6 elite. Took ages to find the right car .Most are auto. Just depends on  personal preference I suppose,although the manuals are slightly quicker & better on fuel.

Not that common. I was searching for one and took me a while but I found a 3.0 Elite with the manual box. I guess I should fix it really  :D
