Museo Storico: Montreal prototype wheels

**TorW** · #1 (**permalink**) 10-02-2006, 09:35 AM

Hello all.

Does anyone have pictures of the Montreal prototype in Museo Storico, taken before 1998, or in 1999, 2000 or 2001?

The prototype was apparently on display for quite some time with GTA wheels, something at least one of the two were fitted with (for testing purposes, I assume) after returning from Expo '67.

If you have paper photos you're unable to post, could you tell me the year the picture was taken and whether it has GTA wheels or the "Miura-like" wheels?

I'm trying to piece together a tiny bit of Alfa history for an article, so if anyone can help, I'll appreciate it a lot.

Hello TorW,

I have to check but I think to have one or two pics of the Montreal prototype with GTA wheels.
I confirm (from the infos I have) that the GTA wheels were fitted for testing purposes.
Let me know your e-mail eddress and I'll scan the pics.
Best regards

I got a load I took July 26 -02. Will that be of assistance?

Edit: I did manage to catch the -67 Expo car on one photo actually and the wheels are visible. I'll post it here once I get home tonight.

Here's a picture I took in '78-'79 of the Expo Monti.
The second picture comes from a magazine they gave during my visit at the museum then.

Are these the "Miura" wheels?

I don't know if this photo helps you.It was taken on December the 10th 2003 at Museo di Arese.
Prototype fitted with Miura wheels.

Thanks for the pictures.

AlfaRonny: the first two pictures are official Archivio Storico pics which I already have. The last one is a scan from a 1972 Style Auto issue about the Montreal.

GTV116: as I suspected, the Miura-like wheels appeared on the musum prototype between 98 and 01.

In any case, the article is now written and appeared in the christmas issue of the Norwegian Alfa Owners Club "Alfanytt". A glossy 10-page special on the Montreal. Those who sent me pictures have been credited in the article
