How much is a sense of humor on ebay?

Even if that was the joke, I have already been aware of people operating a clutch without using the left leg
A quick search on YouTube is going to lead you to many videos showing disabled drivers in cars fitted with manual transmission all around the 3rd-world, including my homeland Brazil.
I used to have a neighbor who had his left leg weakened due to polio, and he once told me he had a local derivative of the Hillman Avenger with the manual transmission. I'm just not sure if it had the clutch adapted to operate manually or turned into a servo-operated automatic clutch. And some 7 or 8 years ago I saw a VW Kombi from the '70s with a hand lever to operate the clutch, since its driver had his left leg amputated.
