E-bay is your friend here as you can filter search results on manual /automatic etc. I think you can do that on Autotrader too. However as you've probably noticed most late model manuals are poverty "active" spec with fake flakey half leather.

I think I'm correct in saying that manuals weren't available for the last 1 or 2 years of production.
Only cos I like 'driving' rather than being conveyed. The other two contributory factors at play in the decision are: fuel consumption and cost of ownership.

I'm afraid I cannot agree that ebay is anyone's friend! Like most of these sales places, they are largely infested with sharks of all sizes with the occasional honest humble gold fish deeply hidden among them.
