A genuine UK RHD Alfa Romeo Montreal (Type 105.65). This example is one of just one hundred and eighty built. It is presented in excellent condition with Alfa Rosso paintwork and black interior. Not only rare, but also great example with good history and originality.
We have had the legendary V8 engine fully rebuilt, incorporating upgrades to the timing chain guides, tensioner and the water pump bearings, which have been historically known to be potential problems areas.
During our rebuild, the engine has been lightened and balanced and fitted with new bespoke forged billet pistons manufactured for us by JE Pistons in California - they are a thing of beauty! Many rebuilds are carried out using non standard / 'similar' profile pistons, we didn't want to do this with ours, we wanted ours to be correct. It is not the cheapest way of doing it, but it is the right way. The original cylinder heads have been fitted with new valve guides and three angled hardened valve seats for unleaded petrol.
Whilst being rebuilt all engine components were chemically cleaned and bead blasted to give it a completely fresh appearance and whilst removed we have had the engine bay repainted and detailed.
But it doesn't stop there, all hoses were replaced and the original alternator and started motor were rebuilt. On completion of the engine rebuild and re installation, we sent the car to a Spica Fuel Injection specialist who re calibrated the injection pump, overhauled the injectors and fitted rebuilt twin ignition units an new Bosch coils, whilst thoroughly checking the whole electrical systems on board.
Good Montreals are a rare fine, a right hand drive version is super rare, but one prepared to the level of detail we have gone to here, is a fantastic opportunity for those who appreciate these wonderful cars
With values of Montreal's rising greatly, this represents a great opportunity to acquire an excellent RHD example and enjoy your investment.
