  • 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/Peugeot2...

    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.)

    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.

      The current trio was great. Evans they should never have picked. Unfortunately Leblanc is leaving. The show last two seasons was was great and better than it has been for years, including the last couple of years with the Grand tour three. There's a reason why the Grand Tour sucks. People are overestimating what TG was. Boring, overly-scripted repetitive stuff with old-man penis jokes.

    The finished product looking only like an approximate silhouette of the Peugeot was what made that original ad feel truly 'Indian' somehow. The ending of this one just feels like the 'BBC version' of India. Looks better, feels worse.

    this time he didn't sculpt it, he bought it.. and also at the end the car should've got funny results but instead the rims are different, not painted and the car doesn't look like it was bent or something.. they could've done better oh come on!
