Manuals do exist. Rare though.
That one is on 18 inch SE wheels, has no front PDC. The HSE badge on pic 7 seems to curve upwords as well.. The dash shot in pci 16 looks like the N from an auto model screen.
Yet says in the advert it has 19s..
Strange.In loving memory of FA54WSK.
Rest well old friend, your work is done.

HSE should have had Logic 7 HK
06 HSE should have had Adaptive Xenons, I believe
Probably should have had front PDC too
And only the very early 05MYs were available with manual option, IIRCMy D3 Build Thread

ISTR you could get manual HSE's up to 08my ...though very few did...TFC and Slimer had a couple of manuals.
As for the spec on this could be an RHD import HSE ....specs differed in other markets. 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

No, it is a UK car; it just fails to have an HSE spec apart from the sticky letters on the back.

The spec of that, even looks down to the wheels and colour, looks exactly the same as the 05 SE I owned.

Could be an import from ROI or Cyprus, HSEs there being an SE with a H strategically bunged on the tailgate.

UK instrument cluster would point to UK SE with the H badge bought or nicked from elsewhere.

Things like wheels can migrate across specs and when I sold my HSE it was shod in 18" wheels as this wheel size would not fit my D4. But there is so much more:
Walking up and driving this thing would be a surprise if you were expecting an HSE. Ignoring the wheels you would walk-up, open the door and get in. On trying to adjust the seat you find the electrics missing. You reach forward to adjust the steering wheel to find the electric adjustment also missing. Perhaps some music would ease the annoyance but the flat sound has you looking at the missing speakers in the doors. Now really unsettled you check behind you to see the D pillars are also blank. Even the Logic 7 decals are missing. Exasperated you roll your eyes to the sky only to find your view blocked by a slice of metal where the glass roof should be. You start the car and convince yourself that it is one of the rare manuals that cost just the same for a lower spec and lower resale value. Edging out of the car park you listen for the familiar tone of the front PDC, only to be greater by the crunch of metal as the PDC sensors are also missing.
