Hahah, fair enough.

He's much more likely to sell it if it is actually a manual gearbox equipped car, but if it is a 3 litre then it's almost certainly an automatic.

I'd love to be proved wrong though!

S/V90s were available with a 3.0 manual.

It was detuned to around 180bhp, to (wait for it) save the gearbox!

Ironic really, as many of us know that the M90 gearbox is pretty bullet proof, with many putting double that through them when attatched to T5 lumps in RWD cars.

Can't see the auto boxes handling that kind of abuse, somehow!


Anyway, it does look a lovely car. Good luck with the sale.

The worst offenders are usually Jaguar XJ owners, who either confuse their J-gate autos with manuals, or were too lazy to check the right box on auto trader.
