"This one appeals to me in several ways, but mainly thanks to the engine sound."

Description

This car was sold new in Germany and imported to Sweden in 1990, reportedly at the same time as three other Montreals and two Maseratis. The cars were cleared and registered at the same time of the Swedish banking crisis, which is why the cars were sold by the Enforcement Officer. This car ended up in the Leksand area where it was renovated. Among other things, the entire underside was renovated, and also the front and rear suspension, in the winter of 1995–96. The car had 2 owners in Sweden.
The current owner took over the car in 2001 and due to family life, the car has been used sparingly. Around 2010, the wing edge on the left front and the driver's door were rust repaired. For the 2021 season, it received new front tires, new brake pads and repainted wheels. In the winter of 2021–22, it got a new muffler, two new ball joints in the front, and received service with new plugs, oil and filters.

The meter is now at 8860 km we estimate that it has gone around at least once. Total mileage uncertain.

Facts about the model

1967 var det världsutställning i Montreal där många länder som vanligt visade upp diverse ickefungerande fantasiskapelser för att imponera på andra med vad de kunde. I den italienska montern stod det en "bil", en väldigt futuristisk designstudie som var ett samarbete mellan Bertone och Alfa Romeo. Mekaniskt sett var den baserad på Alfa Romeo Giulia teknik dvs en 1600 cc rak 4-cylindrig motor med dubbla överliggande kamaxlar, dubbla weber 40 förgasare, en femväxlad låda och skivbromsar runt om, definitivt ina dåliga grejor. Intresset för "bilen" blev så stort att tanken väcktes att sätta den i produktion. Tanken att ta fram nån större och extremare modell för att konkurrera med exklusivare sportbilar fanns hos Alfa Romeo och här kunde det förverkligas. Resultatet blev designmässigt snarlikt utställningsbilen, en 2+2-sitsig sportkupé, så namnet blev Montreal. Men den hade växt lite i storlek och fått betydligt häftigare grejor under skalet.
Motorn, en V8 med torrsump med dubbla överliggande kamaxlar fanns redan ”in house” och denna hade använts inom offshoreracing och i formelbilar. Denna motor var på 2593 cc och lämnade 200 hk och kunde lätt varvas till 7000 rpm. Växellådan var en 5 växlad ZF som även kom att användas av Aston Martin. Samma låda men med gjutjärnshus fanns även i mellanstora lastbilar som t.ex. MAN med upp till sju tons totalvikt. Bakaxeln var det enda i drivlinan som påminde om utställningsbilen men den hade nu utrustats med diffbroms, en stor oljesump med kylflänsar och ventilerade skivbromsar.

Modellen lanserades 1971 men timingen var minst sagt usel, den sålde bra i två år sedan slog oljekrisen till och alla bilar med större motorer var nästan omöjliga att sälja. Produktionen fortsatte dock på sparlåga fram till 1977. Totalt tillverkades 3917 exemplar. Montreal såldes aldrig i Sverige på grund av att vi hade avgasregler som skilde sig från resten av Europa så generalagenten bedömde att det inte var lönt att typa in den i Sverige för det lilla antal bilar som skulle kunna säljas. Vid en test i teknikens värld så var omdömet att den borde importeras till Sverige, enbart motorljudet var skäl nog, man kan bara hålla med.
