In 1984, the Hindustan Contessa was introduced in our country. This, however, was not an affordable option for the brand but rather a premium one. It was based on Vauxhall Victor FE/VX, which was already discontinued in 1978 in Europe.
The Hindustan Contessa is one of the most iconic cars to be manufactured in India. India's very own muscle car.
The original contessa, introduced in 1984, was quite a large car, even by international standards. The car was extremely spacious and refined.
