Which one to take home? SZ? 2600 Zagato? But there's an 8C and a Montreal. I've wanted a Montreal for years!

Got to be the Zagato.


Or the SZ.....

I had a bit of a friendly 'duel' with an Alfa just like the one at the very top of your pics. It was leaving Caen, off the ferry, in about oooh 1990, I was in my Triumph Vitesse mk2 with the hood down.
Eventually he passed me and waved, leather driving gloves out of his window, and I thought, mmm classy car....
Useless trivia, there!

Top notch !
My friend David at work ( no longer with us ) always aspired to own a Montreal.
He used to tell me about the rather odd story that a friend of his in the Sunbeam Alpine club went on holiday touring Southern France many years ago and saw a crashed car glinting at the bottom of a ravine somewhere in the Ardeche. He scrambled down, found it was a Alfa Montreal, then spent most of the remainder of his 2 week holiday ( with the wife ) having it winched up from the ravine and trailered back to the UK . Whether this is entirely true or not is anyone's guess.

Thought you might like that Ali!

The Blue Montreal was spotless. It was a barn find in the USA and the guy shipped it over (what was left of it) and restored it to concours condition.

My two favs where the Blue Duetto Spider and the Red Gulia Spider, both in the concours competition.

However, I have a real hankering for a step nose GT Junior Hardtop (nose like the last pic)

Even to my eyes it does look a little missing in the style stakes. Still, I suppose you can get your holiday packing, a fair sized concrete mixer and the dogs in the back.
Philosophers have only interpreted the world - the point, however, is to change it. No it isn't ... maybe we should leave it alone for a while.
