Has anyone come across an analogue multimeter with a continuous rheostat rather than individual resistors.

No.
What would be the purpose of that?

If you want that you could use the multimeter on its current range with a variable resistor in series.

 

Do mean an auto-ranging feature like the better digital meters, but on an analog meter?

Most people wouldn't want a meter that is so easily de-calibrated.

 

They all have a pot on them it zeros the meter on the Ohm scale.
Most are on the side re[pairs online maybe has a better one that has the knob on the top.

 

Hello,

As @be80be said, there can be a pot for adjusting the ohm range.
See the following page for an example:

There is a schematic on the bottom of the page.
