The car is manual.
A bit of scuttle shuttle but I have just replaced the front springs and shocks and considerable improvement.
Absolutely delightful machine.

Yes, all hand built in a dedicated purpose built factory at Uddevalla Sweden in partnership with Pinninfarina. When Ford took over Volvo they left C70 production alone, therefore the quality remained without Ford's cost cutting effects. The later Focus based Mk2 C70 was also built there.
