I love the Montreal and 33, the sound is just to die for.PH-rating of 9,17.
I always look forward to seeing a gaggle of these at good Italian car shows, particularly when a few different colour combinations are there!I Used to work near Where the ASDA Building in Leeds is. Prior to ASDA there were a Load of little shops on the road side opposite the Filling station. Amongest these was a little car dealer who had some drop dead gorgeous cars. Various 70's and 80's Lotus's, Ferrari's etc and High end Vauxhall and Ford Saloons and coupe's. One day an Alfa Montreal turned up. I think even then the money wanted for it was such that even I started looking at my piggy bank. £2500 seems to be what I remember but I could be wrong!!!

Always had a soft spot for the Montreal since, well, the 70's. Got to admit though, I thought they had a US sourced V8, a la Pantera;

For anyone who thinks that these sorts of cars cannot be reliable.... We know a guy called "Belgian Eric", who is in fact, a Belgian. He has an Alfa repair business and the most amazing "graveyard" of classic Alfas and the like in erm, Belguim. We know him from doing the Laon Historique rally in France. He took part once in his Alfa Montreal, a pretty well used one which the nutter uses as his daily driver! It has recorded over 250,000 MILES on its original engine which he says has never been rebuilt, only had a few clutches over the decades. He swears by a good one, and they can be made very reliable if you know how to fettle them properly. Lovely cars.
Lovely looking car, did not know there was a proper RHD version
Is it more than a 105 with a different body and engine? not that there is anything wrong with the 105 handling wise, but it is a little long in the tooth now and not really a throw around corners sort of a girl
Might prefer a GTAm replica

Oh yes, I'm loving the Montreal. It would scare the life out of me if anything went wrong, mind... but those headlights would be worth the worry, and who doesn't love a NACA duct? I've been keeping an eye out for them in the classifieds for a couple of years, on the basis that there must be room in my life for a cool-as-fook 1970s coupe. Articles like this only stoke the fires of demand, which make it even less likely that I'll find one that's escaped attention 
All that said, if you were in the market for a 70s v8 coupe, the Lamborghini Espada can be had from low £30ks (and will properly ruin you if it goes wrong) and the Maserati Ghibli's not a lot more - and I mean, just look at it - http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C215991
