No offense meant to the first oweners word and your judgement but just 11K for a 11 yr+ old car.
Though i believe u must have already analyzed that.

Thanks bro

and no offense taken i was also shocked to know this but condition of the engine and interiors say it and my mechanic a Contessa specialist only ( he works on no other car other than contessa) says its true



An update i have started to restore the car mechanically the carb was properly cleaned today
engine oil and filter were changed and the engine was also flushed

both the silencer and cat con were replaced with new original parts
will upload pics later

The big fibre bumpers are nice looking, but, expensive (about Rs. 4000/-) and flimsy. I suggest you stick to these ones until the last.

i am getting these real cheap about 1000-1200 pair and is the above mentioned price for pair or single bumper

and i am getting a pair of headlights the double one for rs1300/- brand new is the price ok
thanks manik

[Aditya]

The headlights' price is right. If you are getting the bumpers at 1000-1200, buy them, but, keep your old ones Store them somewhere. The price I mentioned was for just one, not a pair. So, you're getting them real cheap.

Nice buy there.Do let me know if you hold of something like this.Congrats.

[Latheesh]

wow.... die hard conti fan

enjoy your ride my friend!

[loving_alaap]

Congrats for a nice car.

If is it done only 11K odd KM, than its a fantastic buy.

It is one of the most confortable seats.

Do give the detail review.

Can you put some pics of rear leg room, want to see it & wanna compare with the new cars.

How about FE?

[GTO]

What a thoroughly refreshing ownership report, congratulations on buying a "different breed". Though 20 years down since the time of original launch, a Contessa has presence & character. Not something the tallboys of today can boast about.

I am eager to know what all you have planned for the car. Please keep updating this thread with info + pictures.
