I had an Alfa Montreal for several years. I enjoyed it's torquey little V-8 and throaty exhaust note. I have other ltalian exotics and realized that l wasn't driving it much. The mechanic that maintains my collection had been in love with those cars since he was a kid so two years ago l gave it to him on his 40th birthday. Something l found more gratifying than selling it
Every single car is 'undervalued', even the Lotus Ellen, which I always thought was the Elan. And Alfa Romeo is usually pronounced 'Romayo', cos it's Italian innit.
I would disagree that the Lotus Elan is 'underappreciated and forgotten' as borne out by the prices they fetch, at least in Britain. And of course Emma Peel drove one in the Avengers.
@grahambell4298 this is not the case at the moment, but in the past these cars were definitely undervalued :) and which car from this is your favourite?
I have a 1989 412 Ferrari that l've had since 1993. It's a great car with 96k miles many of them as my daily driver with very few problems. It's just now getting to the point where it needs an engine rebuild which l will do. I'll never sell it so it's value is irrelevant.
@@CarNewsTV my dream car is the 75 Countach l bought as a total basket case in 2012. It was more of a reconstruction than a restoration. It was missing parts of the suspension, no brakes, no seats, severe frame rust along with the lower body. Nine years getting everything together, three years of assembly and still sorting it out. I specifically wanted a skinny tire no wings or flares Countach. Electric Blue with a white interior. The reason l brought up the 412 next to the Mondial it gets the most hate which l find stupid. It gets to sixty in 6 seconds, will cruise all day at 120 mph and top out near 160 (two times l had it over 150 but had to back off). It has a 5-speed and makes glorious V-12 noises. Very nice ones can be had for $50k slightly rough drivers for $30k don't always pay heed to trends.

4:12 - It's a 365 GTB/4, aka "Daytona", not a 400.

@Rex-cl2lo Thank you ! And which one from this video is your favourite? :)
I'm no expert, but some of these cars sound like they need engine/exhaust work. 🤔
monster energy with 14minute ad on 12 minute video google sucks

Some of you’re engine specs are wrong. You should fact check using reliable sources before posting
