Hi my name is Amit Bharaj and I own a 1995 model contessa classic petrol engined car and simply love the car for all the charisma it carries!i feel the car should only keep upgrading the conviniences to keep up with basic requirements, otherwise in itself it is a very wholesome driving experience!i generaly do long distances and will agree that the comfort level offered is of the highest quality!not to mention the reliability(remember the wife and husband team who went for a world tour in the same car who also beat the record set by the royal british army).i feel that the car has been severly underestimated by only people who are not aware of the pleasure of true blue driving! I simply find the car a delight!
