Engine is still the same though, just a bit more work swapping the boxes around whilst out of the car ;)

Yep... Switch all the manual bits from crashed car to other one... A bit more work admittedly but still doable :y

Here's a better one. CD would not have cruise, would it. Nevertheless it has leather and a 10CD player. MOT history looks good too.

No mention of rust on any earlier MOTs, 10CD player, MOT until November, recent cam belt change, and three keys - all good. Long way away, pity. I can't be sure it's a manual from the pictures, can you?

I think it's a manual, look at the pic with the gear surround under the steering wheel. Other than the rusty arches and bizarre driver's wiper it doesn't look half bad.
