Usually ships in 1 business days | | | | | | 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. It is a car that can be immensely enjoyable to drive and which turns heads wherever it appears. Sound Montreals are readily available today at very affordable prices. But up to now, there has been a scarcity of detailed technical information to help owners of this unique vehicle. This is the first English-language book dedicated solely to the Alfa Romeo Montreal. It is a comprehensive reference about buying, maintaining and improving the car and contains a wealth of technical information and practical tips for owners and potential owners. | | | |

the ultimate alfa montreal book Nov 01, 2008
This book is a must for existing and aspiring Alfa Montreal owners, as it provides a complete and comprehensive history of the model, together with many helpful hints for choosing a car, and then maintaining and possibly improving it.

A must-have for Alfa Montreal lovers Oct 02, 2008
I finally got this book this week after having it pre-ordered for almost half a year and it was certainly worth the wait. Simply put, this is one of the best car books I've ever seen -- full of useful information for any owner and prospective buyer.
I'm not an owner (yet), so I found Chapter 3 "Buying a Montreal" and Chapter 5 "Achilles' heels" (which happen to be the water pump front bearing, the steering box, the thermostatic actuator and microswitch of the Spica fuel pump, and the reverse gear idler shaft in the gearbox) very useful. Chapter 5 also tells readers how to elimininate the problems associated with the components listed in the previous sentence.
The chapters dealing with mechanical and electrical maintenance, bodywork, and the history and production data of the Alfa Montreal are also interesting to read. Chapter 9 "Improving the Montreal" describes some modifications that may enhance handling and reliability of the car (although at the cost of originality, and subject to the owner's taste and preferences). Chapter 10 gives an overview of the race history. Th eremaining chapters deal with models, meetings, literature, tools and access to resources and services.
While much of this information can be found on the author's excellent web site http://www.alfamontreal.info, I find the book easier to read than the web site because of the richness resulting from the layout of text and photos on the pages. In my opinion, this is a great companion book and I recommend it to anyone interested in this specific car model or Alfas in general.
