Is it possible to take a manual and covert it into automatic at factory?

Hey Guys,

Let's say you wanted to buy a new Aston Martin that was sitting in a showroom which was manual. Could it be taken back to the Aston Martin factory and be converted into a sport shift (steering wheel f1 gear clickers). Do Aston Martin even do this? This sport shift is an option that Aston Martin have over the manual drives. Could it be done or does the car need to be made from the ground up to be either sport shift or manual?

many thanks for your replies

The reason I ask is because a friend of mine just bought an aston martin from a dealer but never actually visited the showroom. The dealer he bought his Aston Martin from was taking so long with delivery makes him think that maybe the dealer was misleading with the fact that the car was an automatic where in fact it was a manual and he wondered if the car was going to Aston Martin factory to be converted into an automatic. This isn't plausible right?
