Calcutta traffic and construction from 1970's: archival footage of modern day Kolkata

1970's imagery from Calcutta city. Construction goes on atop a new multi-storeyed building location while the city moves ahead at its own pace. Yellow taxi cabs on the street and ancient-looking buses ply the streets of Calcutta.

The Victoria Memorial looks as grand as ever, from afar. Hindustan Ambassador cars and Fiat taxis rule the roost.

What's that car right at the end of the clip? Doesn't it looks suspiciously like a Lotus sports car?
