1972 ALFA ROMEO MONTREAL (RHD)

VIEWING BY APPOINTMENT ONLY PLEASE
We have in stock and are in the process of preparing, a genuine UK RHD Alfa Romeo Montreal (Type 105.65). This example is one of just one hundred and eighty manufactured. It is presented in excellent condition with Alfa Rosso paintwork and black interior. This is a rare and great example with good history and originality.

The legendary V8 engine is being 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. 

In addition to this, the engine is being fully 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 the correct pistons. 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.

We are just about to commence the process of reassembly now the pistons have arrived and the machine work is complete. With the rebuild, lightening and balancing, correct bespoke pistons, head work and attention to detail we are putting into this engine it will be far superior to any 'ordinary' Montreal, if there is such a thing!

With values of Montreal's soaring this represents a great opportunity to acquire an excellent RHD example and enjoy your investment.
