If we keep the Plus 4 and not change to a CX, if time comes that it needs converting to automatic, which Sue prefers, then all things being equal we will get that done.

I quite like auto. The Jag, which is soon to go, is auto with paddle shift but Alis, unlike Sue, does not want an auto. We are reducing to only 2 cars (the Plus 4 and something else) so the replacement for both the Jag and the Polo will have to be manual.
If I got an auto box fitted to the Plus 4 I would want the option for manual control. Paddle shift is probably not possible and I don't know if a box with a stick sequential change is available. What I mean is essentially a choice between auto and clutchless manual 🤔
