manual clk

Ive brought up the question before on this forum if an auto clk can be switched over to manual. What i havent asked before is where there any manual clk's made, and if so are ther any/many on the market at the moment?

I know, but that pic is what right hand drive would look like with some adjustments.

Thank you for your time and trouble of going to photoshop it. But first off, is it a real manual?
Secondly where did you get it?
thirdly pictures may be good, but i would rather the actual thing =D.

i know for a fact that in europe, you could drop the auto transmission option on a 200 and a 230 komp. But for the 320, 430 and 55.. auto transamision was mandatory.

Ahlan Ahmed.
Thanks for that bit of info it has answered my question. As my dad was going to try and find me a manual from EU and ship it here. Seeing there is none, that has no chance of happening. Thank you
