3.2's are only auto's unless you find an ex-plodder, 2.6's are quite good to be honest, 3.2's are the best  :y

Gold one on ebay? Rear quater looks pushed back where the rear bumper is cracked.

I've got one. I broke it, but I've got it... ;) To be honest, it struggles a bit to get the car moving, once its going though it does shift fairly well.

 Given the spectacular end it came to, I'm looking for a 3.2 to go in it, when funds allow. :y

I've had a 2.5 manual & now have a 3.0 manual. I've had go go in Richard_Irv's MV6 2.6 auto & it pulled surprisingly well so you should be fine with a 2.6 manual.
   If the history, mileage, condition is all ok & you like the car then go for it matey!!! :y

Well looks ok but wouldn't be too sure about it being pushed back a bit, he never answered his phone and never responded to my messages over ebay.
