Equipment and features: Alfa Romeo first unveiled the Montreal at the Geneva International Motor Show in March 1970, with the model being offered for sale two years later at a cost of 5,700,000 Lira. · Between 1970 and 1977 a total of 3,925 examples were produced, with this relatively low production number being due in part to the 1970s oil crisis, which reduced demand for higher-displacement, performance-focused cars. · This Montreal is finished in the striking hue of Alfa Red, over a black vinyl-trimmed interior, featuring dark green (believed to be faded from black) corduroy cloth front seat inserts, and chrome trim accents. · It rides on a set of 14-inch replica ‘Campagnolo-style’ aluminium alloy wheels in place of the original magnesium items, which are shod in Michelin XWX tyres. · Equipment includes a heated rear screen, electrically operated headlamp ‘eyelashes’, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, Jaeger gauges, air conditioning, a cassette stereo, electric windows, and a passenger-side dashboard storage compartment. · The car comes with a spare wheel, the V5C, and a selection of maintenance and parts invoices.

Condition: Specific notes from the seller include: a respray has been carried out, and the seats are believed to be original. · The seller notes that the headlamp ‘eyelashes’ are inoperative, but this does not affect the usability of the car, the heater motor is not working, and the electric windows are inoperative. · The most recent MOT test was on 3 September 2008 at an indicated 21,555 Kms, which resulted in a third-time pass with no advisories. This vehicle is now exempt from mandatory MOT testing due to its age.

Service history: This Montreal’s most recent maintenance was carried out in August 2020 by Classic Alfa, which consisted of the replacement alloy wheels being fitted. · Technicians at Classic Alfa replaced the front brake callipers and pads in July 2020. · A full engine rebuild was carried out in April 2016 by Classic Alfa, which included all new liners and piston rings, a new gasket set, the front and rear crankshaft seals replaced, new left and right timing chains fitted, a new water pump kit installed, the primary chain replaced, a new oil pump chain, new air filters, new oil and fuel filters, and the conrod bearings being replaced. · Extensive restorative maintenance was carried out in April 2015 by technicians at Porsche/Alfa at a cost of over £13,000, which included a number of bodywork and chassis repairs, factory areas of filler removed and affected panels reportedly reworked to better than factory condition, the bodywork repainted, the suspension dismantled, aquablasted, and repainted, all brake hardlines and flexi lines replaced, all the brake callipers being refurbished and painted, and all stainless-steel bumper components polished. · The car was previously sent to Road and Stage Motorsport for a full engine rebuild, and a number of key Montreal weaknesses were addressed, including the Spica fuel injectors being rebuilt in Germany by ‘einspritzpumpe’ service, a new thermostat actuator by Frank Schembri, the radiator being re-cored, and the vac system being overhauled with new silicone pipes. · Other notable maintenance includes the fuel tank being rebuilt, a full HBE suspension kit including springs, Koni shock absorbers and anti-roll bars being installed, the under-bonnet area stripped and cleaned, and the heat shields being replaced.
