    Not too many of them to begin with let alone now. Factory 5 litre manual or something somebody has converted along the way?

    think its called 310 pack (?), yes they are rare; if you have one cherish and nurture it please, don't go modding it

    308 packs actually. 310 packs are auto 308 VB SL/Es. And congrats Jordy2. I have one of these too, my pride and joy.

    I have only ever seen in person one 308 manual VB SL/E with matching numbers in my life (I'm 40 odd), and sadly that was a thrashed out, modded POS. Such a shame for such a rare specimen. Please keep original and in good nick!

    Good luck with it.

    PS Love to see some pics...
