ABOUT THE CAR

Iconic 70’s Retro

In 1967, Alfa Romeo showed a fresh concept car at Expo 67 in Montreal, Canada. It was nameless but the public took to calling it ‘The Montreal’. And this name stuck.

The first production unit was shown at the 1970 Geneva Motor Show. At the heart was a 2593cc dry-sump V8 that, using SPICA (Società Pompe Iniezione Cassani & Affini) fuel injection, churned out 147kW (197hp) and powered the rear wheels via a 5-speed ZF manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential. This engine was derived from the V8 used in the 33 Stradale and Tipo 33 sports racers, however, the chassis and running gear came from the Giulia GTV coupé.

Production was split between the Alfa Romeo plant in Arese and Carrozzeria Bertone's plants in Caselle and Grugliasco outside Turin. Alfa Romeo produced the chassis, engine and mechanicals. The chassis was then sent to Caselle where Bertone fitted the body and then sent it to Grugliasco to be degreased, partly zinc coated, manually spray painted and to have the interior fitted. Montreals then returned to Arese to have the engine and mechanicals installed. All this back-and-forth confusion means that there is not necessarily any correspondence between chassis number, engine number and production date.

Excellent all round condition.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:


 

Logistics

While we endeavour to assist our Clients as much as possible, we require artwork(s) to be delivered and/or collected from our premises by the Client. In instances where a Client is unable to deliver or collect artwork(s), Aspire staff is available to assist in this process by outsourcing the services to one of our preferred Service Providers. The cost for this will be for the Client’s account, with an additional Handling Fee of 15% charged on top of the Service Provider’s invoice.

Aspire Art provides inter-company transfer services for its Clients between Johannesburg and Cape Town branches. These are based on the size of the artwork(s), and charged as follows:

Small (≤60x90x10 cm): R480

Medium (≤90x120x15 cm): R960

Large (≤120x150x20 cm): R1,440

Over-size: Special quote

 

Should artwork(s) be collected or delivered to/from Clients by Aspire Art directly, the following charges will apply:

Collection/delivery ≤20km: R400

Collection/delivery 20km>R800≤50km

Collection/delivery >50km: Special quote

 

Packaging

A flat fee of R100 will be added to the invoice for packaging of unframed works on paper.

 


International Collectors Shipping Package

For collectors based outside South Africa who purchase regularly from Aspire Art’s auctions in South Africa, it does not make sense to ship artworks individually or per auction and pay shipping every time you buy another work. Consequently, we have developed a special collectors’ shipping package to assist in reducing shipping costs and the constant demands of logistics arrangements.

For buyers from outside South Africa, we will keep the artworks you have purchased in storage during the year and then ship all the works you have acquired during the year together, so the shipping costs are reduced. At the end of the annual period, we will source various quotes to get you the best price, and ship all your artworks to your desired address at once.

Aspire Art will arrange suitable storage during, and cost-effective shipping at the end, of the annual period.

 


Collections

Collections are by appointment, with 24-hours’ notice

Clients are requested to contact the relevant office and inform Aspire Art of which artwork(s) they would like to collect, and allow a 24-hour window for Aspire Art’s logistics department to retrieve the artwork(s) and prepare them for collection.

 


Handling Fee

Aspire Art charges a 15% Handling Fee on all Logistics, Framing, Restoration and Conservation arranged by Aspire.
