As the topic says. Toying with the idea of reinstating the weekend toy into my garage and would really like to hear what people would suggest. Not many cars fall into the category and I'm pretty sure I missed some options out.

Only V12 + manual that immediately comes to my mind is Jaguar XJS. But finding on that has not rotted away and under 20K may be tricky

BMW 750i but not sure if they ever had a manual option.

Funnily enough a manual XJS and the E32 750i are the top options in my list right now.

The BMW is probably a better handler than the XJS but as above not sure they ever come out with a manual. At least there's some well developed manual conversion kits for the XJS.

BMW 850CSi was a manual - but I'm not sure if they'd be in budget.
