This 1974 Alfa Romeo Montreal is an immaculately restored, example with low miles and a beautiful finish inside and out. The Montreal was produced from 1970-1977, designed by Marcello Gandini for Studio Bertone. Gandini had previously designed the Lamborghini Miura, and some crossover styling details are apparent both from outside, and especially under the drivers seat. Under the clamshell hood is a fuel-injected, four-cam 2.6L V8 making a supposed 200 horsepower, but we suspect actually it produces quite a bit more, along with one of the most fantastic engine notes we've ever heard and a stratospheric-for-the-time 7,000 RPM redline. By the end of its run,, the Montreal cost more than a Porsche 911 Turbo or Citroen SM. Fewer than 4,000 total examples of the Montreal were built, and towards the end of the run, Alfa Romeo had trouble selling the last of them. Today they are incredibly collectible, and on the retail market, this example would fetch between $125,000 and $150,000.

Mark McMarkface well is is from some angles.Too many hands or market department demands can turn pure beauty into kit carish unrefinement. This car is almost there. If you see it as the most beautiful ,your designer eye is over looking some aspecs to get to the pleasing ones. So be it....Its far from ugly. But its the total balance of the over all attention to detail.Like a perfect song...it flows, is memorable. A few of the angles on this car needed a little more resolve to flow into the great angles it does have.

These among many Italian engines are amazing engines for a reason.

I first saw this car in the 1974 film 'The Marseille Contract' driven by Michel Caine. One of the most famous scenes of the film was a race between the Alfa Romeo Montreal and a Porsche 911S driven by the actress Maureen Kerwin. This scene has since been recreated in the films Goldeneye and Mission: Impossible 2.

It makes me so happy to see how courteous to cyclists Matt is. As a car guy who, on occasion, will roam the streets on two wheels without a motor, a little bit of extra space when passing cyclists goes a long way. And of course it goes both ways; I am careful not to hold up traffic and to be very predictable in the way I ride because I know how frustrating cyclists can be to drivers.

My dad switched from a Mini Cooper S to a Giulia Super when me and my brother outgrew the Mini. The Giulia was an ex-demo that (the late) John Attenborough (younger brother of David and Richard) blagged for him - he was MD of Alfa Romeo GB at the time. Anyway, an anecdote; John managed to crash and total a Montreal in the Swiss Alps c. 1972/1973. He survived with "cuts and bruises" after going down a ravine because he _wasn't_ wearing a seat-belt - consensus was that he would have been pinioned by the steering-column had he not been thrown over to the passenger side during the crash.

Wonderful to hear you sing the praises of this car after bashing it. There's something special about a car with styling so bold that its often nodded to but never imitated directly. Imagine what a modern tiny 2.5 V-8 would be like mated to a proper overdrive transmission though...I'd bet good fuel economy would become a real thing and the driver would retain that glorious sound to go with it.

I watched Jay Leno's take and Matt's back-to-back. If you dig this car, watch them both. Jay covers the car's specs better (it has trick fuel injection, for example). But Matt actually drives the thing in a spirited manner on a proper road. These were never sold in North America, and neither Jay nor Matt knew anything about them going into their reviews. Neither did I, for that matter. Unusual on all counts. I love this type of car, and this is a very cool example of the breed. I do like the styling; it's a classic, quirky, recognizable Gandini design. If I could afford to collect and maintain cars like this, I'd have one. In fact, I'd love to have this one because of the color and its outstanding condition.

Have always loved the Montreal. Thank you for doing one takes on two of my all time favourite cars, the Montreal and the Citroen SM. Thoroughly enjoyed both videos.

You're the only person I know that is an avid well informed car enthusiast who finds this car to look "awkward". Great looking things especially in person.

So Matt, you were leaving the delicious one for the last takes :) There is nothing like small engines V8. This is the kind of car you dont just only own for the looks or " prestige" but for the vintage..YET timeless driving experience. And who needs to heel/toe all the time
