Only a handful of Alfa Romeo exotic Montreal were delivered new to Australia. This example arrived in Australia in March 1974 with Long term ownership by first owner, having only a few enthusiast owners before passing to current previous owner, was sold by Shannos in February 2023 ( LOT No 208 ) with full Description and history documented including purchase invoice of $126,000. Alfa Romeo Montreal, originally built for Expo 67 held in the Canadian city of Montreal, Bertone?s concept car was based on Alfa?s 105-series chassis combined with a 1.6-litre engine from the Giulia Ti. The Kamm tail, gills on the flanks inspired by the earlier Canguro clamshell bonnet and retractable eyelids over the twin headlamps were pure 1960s show car. Marcello Gandinis gorgeous styling was relatively unchanged when the production Montreal appeared at the 1970 Geneva Motor Show but under the skin the original four-cylinder motor had given way to an exotic quad cam 90-degree V8 motor derived from the racing Tipo 33. This jewel of an engine featured a flat plane crank and dry-sump lubrication in true racing style, along with SPICA mechanical fuel injection and was paired with a ZF five-speed manual gearbox and limited-slip differential. All-wheel disc brakes and fully independent suspension with a De Dion rear end completed the high-tech mechanicals that made the Alfa so special. With 220 horsepower on tap, performance was significantly better than the 1750 GT V whose platform it shared and the exotic Montreal was also more expensive, costing more than contemporary rivals like Jaguar?s E-Type or the Porsche 911. By the time production ceased in 1977, a small number of them ( Purportedly 180) were specified for right-hand drive markets like the UK and Australia, now finally respected and appreciated as the charismatic Gran Turismo Alfa intended rather than a rival for the Modenese exotics, the Montreal has undergone something of a renaissance in recent years and values have been climbing steadily. Previous owner has always maintained the car in excellent mechanical condition regardless of expense. Regularly appearing at Alfa club events around Sydney, the Montreal has never been restored as such with paint work showing its age and wear, comes with massive file of documentation confirming authenticity and prominence including servicing and maintenance invoices and re-print of instruction manuals. Finished in original burgundy metallic colour as ordered from the factory with pristine condition black leather interior seats, contrast red carpet and mats. Original Montreal cockpit and the car still rides on the original 14-inch alloy wheels. The boot compartment is nicely lined in red carpet with great contrast to the rest of the interior.
