Alfa Romeo Montreal

The Montreal took its name from the town of Montreal in Canada where Marcello Gandini exhibited the Alfa Romeo concept car on the Bertone stand at Expo 67. The concept used components from Alfa Romeo Giulia, but when the production version was exhibited at the Geneva Salon in 1970 its engine at least had been raised to a higher specification; a 2593cc V8 developed from the 2-litre V8 in the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale. Sales continued until 1977 whe3n production ended as the Montreal was getting hard to sell.
