Long st this one but I'm trying to identify an old Alfa. I think it might be rare, maybe a limited run of a model?

Here goes, descriptions not much as I didn't get the chance to take a picture.

4 headlights in two groups side by side.

Bonnet air intake.

Hard top coupe.

Small backend.

Low stance.


Hard one I know but rack the brains!

Sounds like a Montreal.

There's not many Alfas with bonnet scoops.
2600 had one:



As did the South African GTV6 3.0:

Well, not really. One of those cars which is worth about a quarter of what it would cost to restore properly unfortunately. They are hard to get bits for and ultimately are probably not as nice to drive as their smaller, prettier and slightly younger sister - the 105 GT.

However they are handsome in their own right and are a true four seater so as a wafting family grand tourer you could do worse!

That's probably why it's sat under an inch of dust!

Nice 2600 Sprints are great- there was a (blue?) one that competed at the Goodwood Revival a few years back that was beautiful. I think prices are rising.
