It's quite a few years since I've seen one but saw one today, in red, driving in towards Oban. Amazing how small it looks in comparison to modern cars when in it's day it wasn't a small car.
Lovely to see it though, hope the driver enjoyed the trip, even though it was raining.

What time did you see it?

I saw one driving north on the M6 around 7-8am approx.

I also saw a brown Alfasud heading south on the M6 behind a silver 147 approx 4pm.

Was about to post on here about this, over the last 2 days I've seen 3 heading north on the M6 at seperate times, the red one I saw was German registered and fuelling up at Charnock services, as well as these I clocked a lovely immaculate Alfasud heading north too.
I guess there must be some sort of gathering up in Scotland then?

Annual European Montreal Meeting 2018
UK Montreal owners host the 32nd International Montreal Meeting

International meetings for Montreal enthusiasts have been held in various European countries every year since 1987 and proved very successful. These meetings really are very special and a rare opportunity to witness a large gathering of this rare Alfa Romeo being enjoyed by enthusiastic owners from many countries in Europe. There is always a friendly atmosphere and technical support from likeminded owners, plus a Montreal specific goodie bag with meeting memorabilia for participants.

The 32nd International Montreal Meeting is to be held in the region of Inveraray in Argyll, Scotland, from 6 to 9 September this year. This is an opportunity not to be missed; especially as for the first time since 2004 it will not require a trip across the channel! It will be based in the Loch Fyne Hotel and spa, an AA four star hotel at the south end of Inveraray with uninterrupted views over Loch Fyne and beyond to the Cowal Hills.

For UK Montreal Owners or those Alfisti thinking of getting a Montreal, this meeting should be an absolute must do in this year’s calendar, no excuses! The cost of participating will be £500 per person for two people sharing a double room, £100 for a single person / room supplement, which includes all meals and events stated in the schedule. There is a special agreement with the Loch Fyne Hotel covering the event, with all its rooms booked for the duration of the meeting; so places will be limited.

I was in the area over the weekend. I saw one Montreal by itself around Fort William. Then a convoy of about ten. Then later a few stragglers. There must have been 15 or 20 on that stretch of road at the same time.

I was in the area and saw 2, thinking that is unusual and there must have been something on.

Saw a silver one at the Ben Nevis visitor centre, and an orangey brown one on the motorway near Glasgow later on.

Absolutely fabulous seeing them out being used.
