Heard the other day the E7 will be presented to the carriage office in London in about ten days.

Rumours or fact. Who knows.

Will they sell many if they are manual?

Something like 90% of London Licensed taxis are automatic.

If they can sell enough they will get an automatic.

Even if they do, French auto boxes are notoriously crap when it comes to workhorse type driving.

Its not a case of ability to drive a manual or automatic but some drivers will only be able to drive an automatic because thats what they passed the test on.

I don't think that applies anymore, if you look at your bill when it comes back, the type of vehicle is not now specified.

I believe, just like your normal car, it will now depend on what type of DVLA license you hold, as in Auto or Manual.
