This was originally called the Vauxhall Victor in the UK, at the time Vauxhall was owned by GM giving it a vaguely American look. It's a nice combination of American and European styling.
The og muscle car of India! The Hindus Contessa still looks so gorgeous especially in this colour 🤩 I want to go back to the era when these cars were launched....
I hope car manufacturers in india reconsider this design...with a nice engine and a maunual gear box...nothing can beat this car...but todays generation love fake suv's rather then genuine muscle cars..
I sharpened my driving skills in this car in 1997. I made my license on a Mahindra Commander courtesy the motor training school. The Contessa which I drove had such poor brakes which needed to be pumped. And me a novice at the wheel managed that on a uphill stop start at the Malad Times of India signal. And to imagine the hill assist feature in today's cars, people are so handicapped nowadays.
If I have this car and have enough money I would have been taken this to brotomotive workshop and they would also love to make it a masterpiece...a dream car
This was my first car back when i didnt know what horsepower and torque were Big fat tyres without power steering 😂 Drove it for 4 years as i learnt more about cars. Then i sold it and got an Abarth. Should have learnt more about cornering and mileage 😂
Happy to seem the 1st scene of ur video with my BlueBeauty ... And trust me there are lot of things to be done... Shall let u know when my county gets on road
The cherry red color looks fabulous, this looks like a tank built muscle car, HM had something great going but could not capitalise on it... Nice to see👍
I had a Contessa Classic Isuzu Petrol which was a great car with 90 hp and awesome highway cruiser. I think Shyam got a shoddy deal with this particular car as the paint job is pretty bad - you can see spray paint on the driver door pad. Definitely not worth 3.6 lacs. The sound before turning the key must be the diesel heater plug. The petrol had also a Electronic fuel pump which made a clicking sound when the ignition was on. Great video Faisal bhai… ❤️💕
Again it's Hyderabad trip for Faisal and driving in Hyderabad ORR Service road...love your reviews always..always hav love on cars and bikes but what to do need to work so working as techie
I have lots of memories with this car since i used to work for HM in mid 90s. This car was better with a petrol engine the diesel wasa bit noisy. The petrol had a better pickup then a diesel but good fuel ecinoly from the diesel. This was really a musclecar cause it was quite strong it was very conforrablr for long drives too. Great car where most the government used to have one in those days. Memoriea.
Nobody in India would buy a cool car and the price would also be very high now face it India sucks in car culture India's car culture is driving moving boxes
Camera View is really amazing like problem solving. there are many old car video where we end up with road and top view, but this view is really nice. it's like we are driving on your POV 😊😊
This one nd the rover 2000 were the cars to drive in that era!! Only fiat,ambassador, original Japanese maruti,118ne used to plight the roads those days Faisal should manage to find the rover 2000 nd do a vid👌
Being a subscriber of yours and motorbeam for almost 3 years, I highly request you to make a video on a 2008 - 2010 Hyundai Verna Transformed. It belongs to one of my dream cars...
It wasn't a muscle car or a pony car. It was a 70s car. It's a muscle car look alike, but not a muscle car. Yeah it could be, if you put an engine that vomits 300+ HP, 0-100 in less than 8 secs, has a weight:power ratio of less than 10, maybe put some 16" wheels. Then we're cookin'. But she's gorgeous, she looks raw, mean and wild. I love Contessa. I pray one day, someone makes a modern generation Contessa just like they made the Mustang, Challenger, Charger and the Corvette. I would love a dirty fun car.
Once I saw a video where one guy plonked the old Innova 2.5 diesel engine and gearbox in a Contessa. I am looking to find that video again, but can't. It was so desirable.
Big shoutout to instagram.com/shyam_unofficial/ for lending me his 💪🏼🚘
Isuzu petrol is the best one. Diesel was never an attractive model
Ye blogger angrez he kya 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bhai aap mujhe ye car 2.5L m de sakte ho?❤
Drive the petrol variant 1.8 Isuzu and you will change your view. Cheapskates swap it with diesels in after market and make it khatara
Although I am 15 years old but I LOVE old age cars like Padmani, Ambassador and Contesa
Just PHENOMINAL
Age is just a number

Back when Hindustan Motors were making retro cars
This was funny 😂
When HM made modern cars though?
Hahaha... 😁 They didn't even have to try. 😋
more like when HM were making cars
Their retro cars were once modern😂

Thanks for that note
uk, has gone to the dogs, with Rishi sunaku,
Actually some british cars at the time had "american" styling. Some Aston Martins from the era also looked similar
American & European Styling, but made for Indian Roads! I see that as an absolute WIN... JAI HIND! 🇮🇳🙏❤️
My father owned one, watched this vlog on TV with him. Absolutely loved it 😄
Ur father comes under ultra upper class then! Even middle class can't aford 800 that time.
@@rishadar Haha well I didn't knew about that 😂
Contessa was our dream car way back in late 80s & early 90s..it was worth 5 lakh rs back then which was expensive then!pure nostalgia😍😘😘
But why not Mercedes w124

it is not a muscle car by any means get educated fool

Genuine muscle car seriously how can you call a car with puny engine is muscle car
Even if they reconsider the new Contessa will be much different than the original
Hey I am the grandson of H.M engineer who assembled the H.M Contessa assembly line 😊
Mahindra should rebadge this kind of car because they have Power full engine for muscle cars 🥺
they have powerfull engine ?
LOL Their most powerful engines have 200 Hp 😂. Muscle cars need AT LEAST 350 HP
That can only do toyota😂😂😂
1.5 mStallion with 165 hp will be fun for this. 😇😇. Even better would be retuned 2.0 mStallion with 230 hp and 300 Nm torque.
@@iicarplaying1930Dude, wth!! 😂😂 Even Ford Mustang only makes 300 hp.

Me too bro me too , i would just add aftermarket turbocharger for muscle feel
Panel change kr dete vo ab tk 😂
@@_mrk347_adding turbos don't make it muscle, you should try supercharger for That😂
Where is brotomotive workshop?
You say this car makes noise but when a high end car makes " look its roaring " 🤔
Anyway I like this beast roaring 😌
One of my favorite indian retro car, thanks for reviewing
That Gearbox Looks So Smooth…….Better than any other Modern Manual Car👍🏻
Car full of Swag😍
I pumped up my muscles yesterday to watch this... But opening bonnet made me self doubt on my muscles🤣🤣
Bro!! Never seen a contessa in this condition Awesome👍
The golden bygone era of Hindustan Motors. ❤️
Eagerly waiting for upcoming Legendary HM Ambassador ev 🖤
U were driving g1 turbo engine brother..20yrs back this car is the best car for India.. don't underestimate this car..
Wow Sabse Accha Video Aaj Tak Ka Love This Car. 👍
Absolute classic mafia car 🤩❤️🔥
The hand of the king sigil on the steering looks insane though! Previous owner seems to be a hardcore GoT fan. ;P
Welcome to Hyderabad...don't forget to have dum biryani here...gr8 vlog
7:10 I think it's pre heater heats for 5 sec,since it's old car it may not heat up to mark so doing 3 times may get that ignition temp
Thanks for the review bhai.. In love with contessa
The legendary car of India ever‼️
I watch all of your videos everyday. It's awesome. Specially when you upload these retro ones. Amazing stuff.
Waiting for the video from the moment when I saw the community post ❤️
Loved it man, our Indian muscle car
Yesss🔥🔥🔥 was waiting for this from a long time ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
Contessa has a different charm altogether!
Everytime fav Contessa ♥️
This was my first car back when i didnt know what horsepower and torque were
Big fat tyres without power steering 😂
Drove it for 4 years as i learnt more about cars. Then i sold it and got an Abarth. Should have learnt more about cornering and mileage 😂
Bring more videos of vintage car🥹🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️
Reminds me of the spruced up Contessa in the movie, 'Oye Luck, Lucky Oye'... 😃
Basically, you are creating fuel pressure in the fuel rails for a smooth start turning the key off and on makes the fuel pump to prime several time...
Happy to seem the 1st scene of ur video with my BlueBeauty ...
And trust me there are lot of things to be done...
Shall let u know when my county gets on road
That intro❤️🔥
Guys he doesn't deserve to make videos on vintage cars
He is totally disrespecting
Aur lovely vintage CONTESSA CLASSIC
The cherry red color looks fabulous, this looks like a tank built muscle car, HM had something great going but could not capitalise on it... Nice to see👍
Looking at this, makes me feel my top spec Tiago is exceptional in its interiors and features. And probably will be when it becomes vintage.
Hindustan Ambassador, Contessa, Tracker....All were road king in those days .....
I had a Contessa Classic Isuzu Petrol which was a great car with 90 hp and awesome highway cruiser.
I think Shyam got a shoddy deal with this particular car as the paint job is pretty bad - you can see spray paint on the driver door pad. Definitely not worth 3.6 lacs.

The Ciggarette lighter is the coolest feature in the car 🤙
Absolutely massive and that's what she said. Seems like you're another the office fan. :))
Most iconic indian sedan
Contessa. The ghost and killer car. Godfather Underworld Car.
Why don't they still make car likes this,with today's modern amenities..
Should sell like boom
Nobody in India would buy a cool car and the price would also be very high now face it India sucks in car culture India's car culture is driving moving boxes
When are we getting the ftype walk around 🙂
My favourite car ever ❤
Old cars are really great
Faisal the keys used to be turned 3 times to warm up the diesel. We used to do that in our 1st gen bolero glx too
Beautiful car of its time..still looks fantastic
Missing my car 😢 Black contessa classic ❤
The wipers and the raw accelerator pedal are really funny 🤣🤣...

Once I saw a video where one guy plonked the old Innova 2.5 diesel engine and gearbox in a Contessa. I am looking to find that video again, but can't. It was so desirable.
They should relaunch this, Contessa has so much potential
You wanted adjustable head rest and adjustable seat belt in 90's Fr?
Question: Is Contessa allowed to legally run on highways?
We had this masterpiece when I was a child .
