Ateco the distributor have been known to restrict supply if they feel they will get unfavourable press coverage.

Totally rad! That ride can never grow old or outdated. It has a classic timeless look and it rides as smooth as silk.

It’s amazing how good it still looks after all these years. Italian emotion at it’s best!

For me the Montreal is a car largely of style over substance. Certainly a great V8, albeit extremely costly to fix, but the suspension/chassis lets the car down in standard form. Having seen Montreals prepared for historic rallys (ie Targa Tasmania, Classic Adelaide etc) they can be made to handle perfectly well, and go quite hard, but in truth you would be far better off with a Fiat Dino IMO, as it has Ferrari’s superb V6, and with a better chassis than the Montreal.

The Montreal is to an extent a junior supercar of the 70′s and if you think about it in that context, it is definitely a nice and interesting Alfa. Personally I would prefer my 105 1750 GTV, as a daily classic as it would be a lot easier to live with, as I have for the past 12 years.

You are correct Golfschwein,

We have approached the Australian distributor for Alfa Romeo several times to review their cars, but to date, they have not been willing to provide that access. However, we are in conversation with them to try and resolve the issue.

Do I guess right that Car Advice hasn’t been able to get their hands on the press fleet?

why bother reviewing this when there is not a single review of current Alfas on the site?

What a great article on a unique looking and sounding vehicle. Come on car advice, when are you going to review range of Alfa’s?? With Alfa’s centenary coming up next year, I suspect the car enthusiast is going to be in for a treat with a raft of anniversary / GTA / new models/
