Wasn't a "Boobie" a "Booboo"

? Assembly Mistakes is what they mean I reckon
The Contessa is something crazy, tho it hints of Isuzu in the rear half wheel arches, chrome and front "eyes". Was that a rear mounted engine on those ??
And a Phatt Bellett to boot, choice find Rod.

Contessa was rear engine and basically copy of Renault or should I say Hino contessa is to Renault is what Bellett is to Hilman.
I have only ever seen one in the metal, was in a car yard in south Brisbane around the early 70's

Ahh thankyou PR95'sun

Yes, rear mounted, very much like the 70's Renaults and even Skoda as we first saw them in Australia in the 70's. I remember my parents looking at Skodas new in the showroom here in Adelaide but we settled for a VW beetle 76 new instead. I can still remember the showroom new car smell.
The Contessa very desirable now tho if you can find one.
