  • It all began with an idea. Could a Hindustan Ambassador actually be converted into a convincing replica of the Peugeot 208 GTI? A question not plucked from thin air, but based on one of the greatest car adverts ever? Find out more here: bit.ly/Peugeot208Ambassador

    They don't even keep the Ambassador models unifined.
    (I understand it took a few prop cars to shot an ad , but at lest keep all the prop the "SAME" model and spec. You can't just keep switching between the older MK3 and newer Grand)
    ...and the finish work is too good that it lost it's mojo from the original. (It never meant to be "prefect" , but a cool DIY work.)

      One more thing AMBASSADOR was a rear wheel drive car , and that hatchback is front wheel drive i don't know how he converted the entire machinery.

    Hindustan motors AMBASSADOR is one of the safesty sedan car in the world.
    Once it was road king in India
    Foor its look and build quality.
    Ministers, beurocrats , industrialists business man , even police and army official used it.
    But unfortunately those tiny match box captured the market of whole sedan and this company had to shut down its production and sold it Peugeot.
    Still you can find it on Indian roads spcl Kolkata metro city using as taxi and calcuttians love for AMBASSADOR is still present .
