The Appeal

With its sweeping, sporty Bertone design, the Alfa Romeo Montreal was launched in 1970. It was a highly charismatic V8-powered car, loaded with detailing and notable for its distinctive take on the pop-up headlight. They sadly didn't fly out of the shelves as the Italians had hoped - likely as it was quite the wallet-buster - but their performance couldn't be denied, and they remain a highly prized classic to this day.

This particular 1975 Alfa Romeo Montreal has been meticulously restored and maintained, and acts as a fabulous ambassador to its model. The restoration has been extensively catalogued, and it's clearly been cosseted. This rare Italian classic is sure to turn plenty of heads.
