Bet you never thought a AU series 1 Forte could look or sound this good?  Fitted with more than it's fair share of factory options, this V8 equipped wonder also includes the factory body kit and 17" wheels and sports suspension courtesy of Tickford. A XR8 exhaust and painted grill also help the image department.  What really impressed me was the owner's decision to keep the Forte grill and badging - sometimes there's nothing worse than a fake!  I hope the subsequent owners see fit to keep it as pure to it's roots as the original owner did - this car could end up extremely rare (if it isn't already) just for the fact that there wouldn't be many Forte's treated like this.  Kind of makes for a nice break after the hundred's of XR's...
