Why so few manual C5s?

[Benbay001]

Hi.
Im giving some serious consideration to buying a c5 next year.
Id ultimately much prefer a manual, but there are very few around. Alot less than there are autos.
I was wondering why? Its clearly a car bought by petrolheads and the manual was cheaper when new.

Also, how much more does a manual car go for, compared to an auto? Atm i can only find one manual c5 for sale in the UK and thats for sale on PH and it seems quite cheap.

Also, how viable is importing one from the EU?

Cheers
Ben
