The Montreal is one of the most exotic series production cars ever manufactured by Alfa Romeo. The combination of a race-bred 200bhp V8 engine with stylish Bertone coachwork puts it in a class of its own.
Almost 4000 Alfa Romeo Montreals were produced between 1970 and 1977, and sound cars are readily available today at affordable prices, although they are appreciating fast. The Montreal is a powerful car that can be immensely enjoyable to drive and that turns heads wherever it appears. However, until the original edition was published, the lack of detailed information about the Montreal had frustrated many owners and discouraged others from purchasing the car.
This book provides detailed technical information and practical tips to help owners with maintenance, tuning and upgrading the performance of this unique car. It explains how the Montreal’s specific weaknesses can be rectified so that it can realise its full potential. It also contains information about Montreal history, production, racing, meetings, reviews, drawings, art, special tools, paint finishes, models, prices and service providers.
This comprehensive book can help present owners enjoy the Alfa Romeo Montreal to the fullest, and it shows other discerning car enthusiasts that this beautiful and potent classic GT is a hidden treasure that is well worth seeking out.

Bruce Taylor is a Chartered Engineer with a PhD from Edinburgh University, and 50 years of practical experience in research and development work. Since retiring from CERN (The European Organization for Nuclear Research in Geneva, Switzerland), he has devoted his experience and energy to helping owners of the Alfa Romeo Montreal get the most from their cars. In addition to a Montreal website, Bruce ran a forum that handled over 32,000 messages from Montreal owners. Bruce is a Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology, and authored the Montreal technical bible "Alfa Romeo Montreal: The essential companion", as well as the pictorial tribute book "Alfa Romeo Montreal: The dream car that came true". He writes with clarity, enthusiasm and expert knowledge about all the major aspects of this elegant, powerful, and yet very affordable, classic GT. He lives in Chardonne, Switzerland, with his wife, Jennifer, and their sons, Mark and Kevin.
