This modified HM Contessa is available for less than a Renault Kwid
Hindustan Motors was among the earliest automotive manufacturers of India. Though now defunct, it has given us some timeless classics like the Ambassador and the Contessa. Talking about the Contessa, it is considered by many to be the first and last muscle car of India due to its body design (though it actually was a luxury sedan). A reason for this could be attributed to the fact that it was based on the Vauxhall VX series car of 1976. The video below by Retro Classics India shows us a tastefully modified Contessa which is up for sale. The asking price for this Contessa is Rs. 4.20 lakhs, which is even less than the top end Renault Kwid.
To let you know, the top end Renault Kwid variant, the Climber 1.0 AMT, retails at Rs. 4.66 lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi). The Contessa here then beats it at price and is a whole lot cooler than the hatchback. It has been beautifully modified on the lines of the Dodge Charger, whose name it bears on the front grille and the tailgate. Finished in a shade of rusty metallic orange, it for sure demands attention wherever it goes. The twin-pod front headlights with LED rings around them create quite a stellar visual aura at night.
