Your car wouldn't have this reservoir even if it had a manual box because LHD cars share the brake fluid for the clutch. Only RHD cars have the separate mini reservoir.
These are sensations as hard to forget as they are to ignore.....

That is a photograph of my 83 323i engine bay, maybe taken at Harewood House.
