1973 Alfa Romeo Montreal

This Car

• First registered in 1973, this Montreal is a truly special example. All Montreals are charming and intriguing in their own right, but this particular car has something extra.
• In 2012, the car was entrusted to Alfaholics, who were instructed not simply to restore it, but to elevate it into a fast-road/show-quality machine. The result is an exceptionally well-executed build with a specification that sets it apart from the rest:
• Specification Includes:
• Full body restoration and repaint in the original Alfa Romeo orange.
• Engine rebuilt to +50 BHP specification, including 2800cc conversion, forged high-compression pistons, ported heads, and upgraded cams
• Electronic fuel injection and 3D-mapped ignition; injectors discreetly hidden beneath the original airbox and ECU mapped to fire the standard coils, retaining the period-correct appearance
• Hydraulic power-steering conversion
• Modern air-conditioning system
• Alfaholics 4-pot brake kit with aluminium rear calipers
• Alfaholics Montreal handling kit
• Alfaholics stainless-steel sports exhaust
• Xenon headlights
• Modern Hi-Fi system with connectivity
• Full leather seat retrim
• Alcantara dashboard and centre-console conversion
• All new lights and badges fitted; centre heart re-chromed
• Since the Alfaholics restoration, the car has changed hands twice, with both subsequent owners maintaining it to a very high standard. The history file is extensive, containing a large portfolio of invoices from the restoration through to the present day.
• We recently collected the car and covered over 200 miles in it. From our past experience with Montreals, this example is genuinely a cut above – quicker, sharper, and impressively comfortable over long distances.
