Coupe or Roadster?
Coming through Works Service?

Not Works, regular channels.

Coupe for this particular individual.

... why the manual still holds its appeal for so many; because you take away the option of "putting it in 'D''" and letting the gearbox do the work for you.

Or being able to choose the gear you want eg shift from 2nd to fourth, or 5th to 3rd, etc, without going through all the gears.

Sportshift lets you do that - probably four times faster

Is it the rumoured dog leg ? I wonder why (some) dealers still claim to know nothing about it ? Standard V12VS with manual as an option, or being sold as a slightly different model to the regular V12VS ?
