Hi guys first post so excuse me if its in the wrong place

As the title states does anyone know how many vy manual senators were built?

I have recently brought one, I was actually looking at buying a manual vy-vz clubsport when I came across it, it had everything I was looking for minus a sunroof

I ended up going with it over a clubsport as it seems like there are 1000's out there and Ive always liked being a little bit different.

I have searched the web a few times but haven't been able to come up with much apart from they are rare and all vz's were auto?

any help would be appreciated.

Yup that seems to be the normal response I get from most people, just shows how rare they are, it is differently factory have found 3 others on facebook

Check the hsv page it was a options near the bottom but obviously not a popular one.

Pretty sure your wrong. By pretty sure I mean for sure :thumbsup:

Senator Sigs were a optioned manual. Very rarely taken.

Not entirely sure if regular regular Senators were, but typically the only difference was brakes, wheels and trim so it may have been.

They were available in manual reg Senators and Sigs. I don't have numbers for Y series but of the earlier VS/T/X (very) roughly 10% were manuals but the proportions jumped around a bit. For example only a few VS 185i's were manual but nearly 40% of the 215's were.

Every model series was available at a manual although some special editions weren't (eg VP Senator 5000i). Actually getting one was another matter as many of the regulars on here would know from my experience.

Post up the compliance plate - what is the code under "trans"? Very easy to work out if it was factory auto/manual.

This thread isnt about the authenticity of whether or not my car is factory auto or manual I know it is factory 6 speed.

What I wanted to know was is if anyone knew how many were built?
