I've seen a few of these in my days of (many years ago) P6 Owners Club. The text is, however, slightly at odds.

It's not a manual, it's automatic. So far as I know the only manuals were factory derivatives and known as P6B and the steering wheel was a 'Sports' version. That makes me think it is a non-factory conversion.

A clue lies in the colour of the rear wings. The paint is different and appears much later, a nice job but it's being sold as an apparent original. In addition the under-bonnet pics show rather different tubings. Maybe it is original, I'm far from expert, but I'd need convincing. Then of course, the price! Is the base model worth the cost of private conversion? It looks a very nice job though.

It just might be the work of the same brilliant engineer that made a drop-head coupe P6 some years ago. I have pics of that somewhere that I took at a rally (that's what 'meets' were called then) at Hever Castle and that was a superb job.
