The Alfa Romeo Montreal, A Rare Italian V8 Grand Tourer
The Alfa Romeo Montreal stands as a testament to Italian design and engineering prowess. Conceived as a concept car for Expo 67 in Montreal, Canada, it garnered such acclaim that Alfa Romeo transitioned it into production by 1970. Designed by Marcello Gandini at Bertone, the Montreal seamlessly blends avant-garde styling with performance derived from Alfa's racing heritage.
Under the hood lies a 2.6-liter V8 engine, derived from the Tipo 33 Stradale race car, featuring SPICA mechanical fuel injection and dry-sump lubrication. This powerplant delivers approximately 200 horsepower, enabling the Montreal to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just over 7 seconds and reach a top speed of 220 km/h. The combination of its race-bred engine and distinctive design elements, such as the retractable headlamp grilles and NACA hood duct, make the Montreal a unique and captivating grand tourer.

About This Example
Chassis AR1426012 is a remarkably well-preserved example of the Alfa Romeo Montreal, finished in the rare and striking Nero (Black) exterior color, paired with a black leather interior. With approximately 100,466 kilometers on the odometer, this Montreal showcases the careful stewardship it has received throughout its life.
In 2022, the car underwent an engine-out service addressing various leaks and ensuring mechanical integrity. More recently, it received an oil change, further emphasizing its maintained condition. While the car exhibits some signs of age, including minor rust in certain areas, it remains an exceptionally original and unmolested example of this rare model.
The Montreal's unique combination of race-derived engineering, distinctive design, and limited production—only 3,925 units were built between 1970 and 1977—makes it a coveted collector's piece. This particular example, with its rare color combination and documented maintenance, represents a unique opportunity to own a piece of Alfa Romeo's storied history.
