You could get 5 manual in Forte, S, SR, XR and T-series IIRC and possibly Futura
There were NO 4 speed manual Falcons after XF

Yep, you're right, you are definately no expert. The last 4spd manual Falcon was the XF.
AU Forte had a manual as standard, but most people chose the auto, and IIRC it was made a no-cost option during the AUII

Unfortuntely not, the only manual V8's were XR8's and T-Series.

Just checked, couldn't find any manual V8 Forte's, or any manual V8's apart from XR8's and T-Series. I also looked on www.carsales.com.au in the for sale section and in the car research section. No mention of any V8 manuals apart from the cars I just listed.

My brother has an AU1 forte 5 SP, 7 months ago we got it for $11000 with 17 in alloys, lowered and black interior.
They are as rare as hens teeth, I was looking for three months almost everyday on carsales, carpoint and the trading post before I found a good one, although I only saw about 5 all up for sale. |
