Hi guys,
I’m looking to touch base with the owner of a gated manual 612 (in the UK). Does anyone here own such a car, or know someone that does? I have a 612 myself, and am just looking for a wee favour- happy to repay in kind or with beer. 🍺
Thanks,
Robin.

I think all of the 'gated' cars are in the US. The rest of the World have the more simple 'manual' cars ;o)

(sorry, only teasing but true)

Ha! Yes, they do like to use that terminology. I was just trying to clarify for the pedants who might remind me that the F1 cars use a manual gearbox too.

Supposedly 27 RHD manual 612’s were made. Of them, I assume the UK would have been the biggest market. Either way, there’s not more than a small handful going about.

You want to know a really rare car? Try guessing how many RHD manual California’s were made...
