SUMMARY

Benefitting from a major mechanical overhaul earlier this year, costing over £11,000.

DESCRIPTION

In 1967, Alfa Romeo dipped its toe into the Supercar sector by launching the Montreal, named after the Montreal Expo where it made its debut. It was powered by an all-new V8 quad-cam competition-derived power unit with dry-sump lubrication taken from the successful Type 33 sports racer and mated to a 5-speed ZF gearbox.

With a capacity of 2,593cc, the V8 featured twin overhead camshafts per bank and produced, via Alfa Romeo/Spica fuel injection and Bosch electronic ignition, 200bhp at 6,500rpm. This provided excellent performance with a top speed of 137mph and 0-60mph in just 7.6 seconds. Under the exotic Bertone designed 2+2 coupé coachwork, the Montreal incorporated many stylish features, such as the headlamp eyelids and the NACA duct on the bonnet.

According to the accompanying service coupon book, chassis '1440181' was supplied through the London Sports Car Centre on 10th March 1975 to its first registered owner, the Minimum Tool Co. Presenting in Dark Brown Metallic, this left-hand drive example benefits from a recent mechanical overhaul that cost over £11,000 in January 2023. Wildae Restorations in Devon carried out the work and there are more details in the accompanying history file along with previous MOTs, service records, invoices and correspondence.

Prior to the sale, the car will be issued with a fresh MOT. This fabulous Alfa is offered to auction at a very competitive estimate when you consider its rarity and the level of recent expenditure, and is now ready for its next lucky owner to use and enjoy as originally intended.
