Yes, we do a considerable appeal to those brain cells of you. Hint: this old sister of Giulia has something to do with a city from Canada…

Indeed! it is a Alfa Romeo Montreal and he is for sale in the Netherlands.

In 1967, in Montreal, the world’s fair was held, and Alpha brought for the occasion a concept car. If there may be a glimpse of the remnants of this ‘Expo 67’. One of the used locations was the island of Île Notre Dame where the F1 circus commits settle down for the Canadian Grand Prix. Of the by Gandini (who else) drawn concepts were two copies were built. One of them can be admired in the Alfa Romeo Historical Museum, located in the Italian Arese.

The production Montreal was in 1970, introduced at the Geneva motor show. Where the concept is still a one-point-these factors is below par under the hood of the Giulia TI, the production model, a 2.6-litre V8 with dry-sump lubrication, SPICA injection, and 200 horsepower. Modern engines build they could be in Italy. Also had the car a manual vijfbak and a limited-slip-diff. Enough beautiful ingredients for a fine driving machine are present.

Separately to the Bertone-coach of the Montreal are the notch in the middle of the hood (NACA-duct) and the ‘louvres’ on the flank behind the door. Both have not really a technical function. The notch is secretly close and should, therefore, only an optical purpose. The louvres on the side and do a mid-engine suggest, but nothing is less true because the block is just in front of the nose.

The Montreal remained in production until 1977, and there were 3.917. One of Montreal’s you can now for 88.000 pegels pick up at Nico in Brummen. The floor looks clean stainless from not?
