I can't find any information even from Volvo stating whether you could still special order a manual T5 S40/V50 after the 2007 facelift in Australia?
I'm looking at a lovely 2005 S40 T5 AWD M66, but I really wanted the facelift- though if manual's didn't exist after 2007 then I haven't much choice!

A my08 v50 t5 m66 sold last year but was a personal import I believe

Could still special order in 08... but gfc meant no one did
Option dropped for aus in 09 but stayed in usa through end of production in 2011

Oh hey Philia! I'm the same bloke checking out the S60R in Bathurst. He's got a guy who came up from Canberra to look at it today, I'm sweating bullets waiting to hear if I've lost it.
This little unicorn is a reasonable consolation prize if I miss out :(

You can convert a non facelift car to facelift by swapping out the bumper covers and a few other bits
Seen lots of people do it over the ages and its something I'm working on for myself now for my 06
