I'd keep it auto, the thing's hardly going to set your hair on fire nowadays and would be used more as a cruise to the pub/shows.
THIS ^^^ x10!They have an original car (or so they say), so why ruin it with later "upgrades"? It's never going to be a sports car as you say.
(these days, with the exception of some proper sports cars like 911s etc (a-la singer) it's ALL about the originality when you do a restoration isn't it? Have a look at the prices of mint, originals of anything, even the cars they did in the first series, like the Mini, the Landrover, all worth more in original factory spec with history)
