I thoroughly enjoyed my Scimitar GTE automatic (Borg Warner 3 speed) and it made life very easy in the cities of Europe when we lived and worked out in Germany for a few years.

I think the way Krazy Horse converted a Plus 4 for a gent with a damaged leg to enjoy was a great service and were I to be in a similar situation I wouldn't hesitate getting one converted.

I prefer a stick but it's not the end of the world, I thoroughly enjoyed a Ford Galaxie in Canada for 4 months (1971) whilst working over there it's best to be flexible otherwise you are in danger of becoming an old fart.

Having said that were I to go the Plus 6 route in a couple of years time it would have to have a manual Getrag or similar, it won't be long coming sherlock plus an exhaust that doesn't sound like a moped..
