It'll be a car which got half built, and then a change of plan occurred. There are odd variants like this, and always have been. Maybe an order was cancelled, and the spec. altered. It might have been destined to have a manual transmission, but the order fell through, and someone wanted the exact same colour and upholstery but automatic gearbox, so was modified on the production line. Or even afterwards, but before registration.

It's unique!

My S80 D5 2005 (registered in 2006) is exactly the same - no fuse diagram matches in either the old or new owners handbooks !
