Prehaps I missed something, none of the listings say 'Auto' or is that just assumed/

as far as I remember, all of the Ultima variants were autos. Only the Executive, Ghia and Ghia-X models were manual. Certainly the later models anyway!

The auto for the diesel was only available for less than a year before the end of production, they are out there but there arent many about.
Big timer is yours a facelift or a late registered prefacelift?

As far as I know, the TD was available with auto trans only for the last few months of production so are pretty rare.
About the 2.3 Ulti in manual, not sure about rare but yup, they're pretty unusual, well outnumbered by the autos - unusual enough that I didn't come accross one in the year or so I was looking for one. Closest I got was a Tourmallard 2.0 Ghia X with Recaro pack and 7 spokes, shame it'd been shunted and patched up, would've been a good 2.3 transplant
