good collectible car that Tutty, if it's fairly good nick a grand would be ok maybe more!, hard to say on todays market, any cheaper would be even better

Would make a great OSCA replica so has to be worth $1000

Market forces would probably decide its worth ,nice shape that car similar to the Cortina from same decade,put it up for auction with a $500 reserve and let it rip.the old school crowd ,and resto buffs will be breathing down your neck; good luck regards Kev

Ah the old Hindustan Contessa huh, Came out in NZ with the 3.3 Cresta motor as well (Hence the 3300 SL) Quite a few had 350 Chevs stuck in them as well.

Yep, the 350 swap made them into a rocket back in the 70s. Was in Taranaki in those days & there were probably 3-4 of them running around - flared guards and all

Hahaha. By Brother in law had one in the Naki back then. CF Bedford motor (cant remember the box etc), pale bluey green, Trident mags with fats on the back (complete with Airshocks), standard Victor wheels on the front, Lake pipes, man what a beast lol

Very strong motor those 3.3 Vauxhalls. A tad heavy in those Victors though, I recall them having a tendency to go around corners on one wheel while trying to tear the outside front tyre off the rim.

They were the engine of choice in Stockcars back in the 80's as well.

Even tho the 2000cc one was $5500, I think somewhere around the $1000 mark for a car needing revinning is pretty fair.
The other $5500 one may be on the market for a while yet.

3.3 was build for mainly export markets (you will not find many surivors for it in UK by the way) I wrote in the letters page In Classic Driver magazine about it some time ago - There was also a wagon exported here. - Have a look on my site www.carmagreviews.co.nz i might have references for you for more info - as for value $1000 + would be its value -Contact your local Vauxhall Club one of its members would gladdy take it off your hands - Very rare now!
