ALFA ROMEO MONTREAL

2-door 2-seater coupè.

Failed attempt at budget-priced supercar, combining 1750 GTV underpan, chassis and suspension with a road version of racing-style four-cam V8 engine and smart Bertone body style. First shown in Canada 1967, hence its name. Lusty 200bhp, helped by fuel injection, with ZF five speed box, and 137mph top speed. Most were left hand drive, but right hookers came in 1974. Values relatively low today - but impecunious should worry about running costs and, need we say it, rust!
