The Hindustan Ambassador was a car manufactured by Hindustan Motors of India. It has been in production since 1958 with few improvements or changes and is based on the Morris Oxford III model, first made by the Morris Motors Limited at Cowley, Oxford in the United Kingdom from 1956 to 1959.

 

Despite its British origins, the Ambassador is considered as a definitive Indian car. The automobile is manufactured by Hindustan Motors at its Uttarpara plant near Kolkata,West Bengal. Some prominent Indian politicians, such as Sonia Gandhi, use the Hindustan Ambassador.

 

As of 25 May 2014, the Hindustan Motors has suspended the production of the Ambassador.*
