Has that had a manual conversion or is it a command shift auto?

Teddywood1 -Yes, but cheated by using a "plug and play" wiring loom so I didn't have to chop wires.
Simon- Don't know about that. I wouldn't have thought so though. R2R paid £3600 for the vehicle. I've been told a manual conversion would be around £6000 !! So to me this doesn't make sense to spend that much converting to manual for what is essentially a charity. They could get 2 more vehicles for that money me thinks.

They specifically look for autos because of the nature of the injuries most of their drivers have suffered. A mate does some work with them and I've had the pleasure of meeting Ben Gott with his R2R Bowler at RAF Odiham

That's a very good point!!
Reason I asked was it sounded to be holding gear quite a lot, hence thinking it was a manual, but then the gear change sound at the end made it sound like an auto!
Are the gearboxes a command shift auto same as the FL2?

Yes, you can put it in sport mode then click back and forth with the stick to self-select gears 1-5. As it's effectively an electrical switch signal (just with a blooming big switch) it's fairly straightforward to convert to flappy paddle if you're so inclined.
