Default 2011 speedster options

ok, so I have been looking at some 2011 speedsters and really like the blue paint and standard options on these cars. They only made 356 worldwide with around 100 for the us market. All the ones I see advertised have PDK and was wondering if any manual were made. I did find a few PTS cars so there might be a few manual spec'd out:

As I have understood the Speedster, they were not available with a manual tranny. Only PDK. A few were produced in PTS, like your example in yellow, and a guards red that belongs to a Rennlister. Porsche AG somewhat misled potential buyers that they were only available in True Blue or Carrara White. PTS was an option.

I bought a Carrara white speedster in 2012 brand new from my local dealer , they only came in PDK and not lots of options , sold it 8 months later with 1200 miles , I couldn't live with the PDK I a
So contacted Porsche of America to find out how many whites were shipped to the US and they told me they couldn't give me that info

yes, I am a manual guy, thought the speedster would be a nice addition to my stable, but PDK is a deal breaker for me. Luckily, I own a manual boxster spyder to satisfy my top down driving. For production numbers, I found this cool Porsche website:
