Did any VL Calais come with a stock manual? or have all manual calais' been converted at some stage?

A few VL Calais Turbo's came with factory manuals (MX7's). Although they arent as common as the lazematic's (auto's) Jake.

how else would people have manual gearboxes if no VL's came out with them? holden sure as hell wouldn't have produced the boxes as a separate entity. yes, a fair few VL's did come out with manual boxes, but nowhere near as many as autos!

He's talking about n/a calais. the 5 speed was not an option on the n/a calais but I believe that a few left the factory with them. Just check the tags to find out.
