Restored to concours condition1976 Maserati Khamsin CoupéRegistration no. WGT 287RChassis no. AM120-341To view a video of this lot please click here*Maserati's top-of-the-range model in its day*Very rare right-hand drive example*Delivered new in the UK*Known ownership history*Professionally restored between 2008 and 2012*Maserati Classiche certifiedFootnotes:Long under the radar in terms of historical recognition and valuation, the Khamsin has in recent years gained the appreciation and respect it always deserved. It is one of the very finest Grand Touring cars ever built and the last Maserati of the classic era designed under the technical stewardship of legendary chief engineer, Giulio Alfieri. It was also, being slightly more expensive than the mid-engined Bora, the top of the Maserati range in its day. Citroën had acquired Maserati in 1968, and the French company's substantial investment was reflected in the Khamsin's advanced specification. The Khamsin is notable as the very first front-engined Maserati to feature independent rear suspension, by means of double wishbones and two coil-over shock absorbers per side, while the rear differential was mounted in a sub-frame. At the request of Alfieri (it was not imposed by Citroën), the French firm's famous hydraulic system was used for the power steering, brakes, clutch, driver's seat adjustment and headlight raising. The Khamsin was powered by Maserati's classic, 4.9-litre, four-cam, dry-sump, alloy V8 engine - as used in its Ghibli SS predecessor - which on Weber 42 DCNF carburettors produced 320bhp and a stump-pulling 355.5lb/ft of torque, the latter more than the Ferrari Daytona. Allied to a top speed of 175mph, the Khamsin has a very precise and light steering and clutch, which means it can be driven in traffic all day with ease, while its brakes are extraordinarily powerful and do not fade, even on a track day. It is supremely comfortable on long journeys, the driver and passenger emerging fresh and ready for a night out as opposed to the case with so many of its rivals. The Khamsin was the first Maserati production model designed by Carrozzeria Bertone, whose supremely talented stylist Marcello Gandini producing a breathtaking wedge design. Its perfect proportions, vertical rear glass with hanging tail lights, and asymmetrical louvres on the bonnet hinting at the mighty engine beneath, are as traffic-stopping today as when the car was new. It exudes class and elegance, making admirers stop for a second look. Completing this perfect package, the Khamsin has neutral handling and is as agile as many smaller sports cars. Unfortunately, its sales were hurt by the 1973 energy crisis, and while production continued under new owner Alessandro de Tomaso, from 1976 to 1982 only 430 were built, with 73 of them right-hand drive for the UK and other markets. The rare right-hand drive example offered here was first registered on 30th December 1976 when sold by MTC Cars, the company of Mario Tozzi Condivi, the UK Maserati importer. It was finished in the stunning colour combination of gorgeous Luci del Bosco (a rich shade of brown) with Senape interior, and was equipped with the desirable ZF five-speed manual gearbox. Noted collector Patrick Martin was the second owner, acquiring the Khamsin on 1st April 1981. On 3rd March 1988 the car was sold to John Jorgensen before moving on to Michael Bonney's stable on 28th July 1993. Rupert Wilkes became the next owner on 17th May 2002. The current owner acquired the Khamsin at a London auction on 27th February 2007 to complete his sizeable collection, which includes half a dozen classic Maseratis. By this time the car was in need of a full restoration. Carried out to the highest standards, this commenced in 2008 at renowned marque specialists McGrath Maserati, while the bodywork was entrusted to Vintage Cars of Lymington and Ross Packard of New Milton. Arguably one of the most comprehensive refurbishments a Khamsin has ever been subjected to, the process took over three years and is fully documented by receipts on file. The rebuild was completed in the spring of 2012. This restoration took place alongside several other Khamsins being restored at McGrath's in time for the International Khamsin Quaranta reunion held that June near Beaune, Burgundy. This event featured guest-of-honour Marcello Gandini and Maserati Classiche, who judged the 27 Khamsins gathered from all over Europe. Chassis number '341' was not judged, only displayed, as its owner was the event co-organiser with author Marc Sonnery, and it was felt its inclusion would have been unethical. However it was evidently as good as it gets. Gandini signed the sun visor, and '341' was proudly driven home with a stop near Reims to load some Champagne in its capacious boot.The restoration's fine quality was recognised in 2014 at Salon Privé in Syon Park, West London where, judged by Maserati historian Adolfo Orsi, it made a strong impression on guests. '341' then received further recognition the following year, winning the Maserati UK Owners Club concours outright. The Khamsin was driven to France again for the Le Mans Classic in 2018 and was the perfect choice for such a trip, being one of the greatest classic Grand Tourers. It was also featured in the book 'Maserati - The Citroen Years', the definitive book on that era of Maserati.The car comes with its complete set of Maserati Classiche documents; the original handbook and wallet; the rare Maserati service book and original factory toolkit and jack. It would be the perfect car to enter in the second International Khamsin meeting, Khamsin Cinquanta, in June 2022 to celebrate the model's 50th anniversary, this time with full concours participation.As special as they are rare, Khamsins have a devoted following and tend to be kept for many years by connoisseur owners. This is a rare opportunity to acquire an expertly restored five-speed example of the Trident marque's ultimate Grand Touring car in its stunning original colours.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1967 Aston Martin DB6 Sports SaloonRegistration no. LTO 828E (see text)Chassis no. DB6/3093/R*Previously in the long-term ownership of an AMOC member*Extensively refurbished by Alan Smith Motors (2008-2009)*Fitted with a rebuilt ZF five-speed manual gearbox (originally automatic)*Harvey Bailey handling kitFootnotes:'Stage by stage, as the DB has become dominant in the Aston Martin strain, the successive cars have changed their image. Today the aim is to offer the maximum of luxury and refinement as well as the ultimate in road performance. The minor barbarities of so many great sports cars of the past are no longer acceptable – at least in the hand-built models now leaving Newport Pagnell. Obviously such a car as the DB6 is expensive and exclusive but the value matches the price.' – Autocar, 1966. The DB6 was introduced in 1965, replacing the DB5 and effectively brought an end to the lineage that could trace its heritage to the DB4. Increased rear-seat space was the prime DB6 objective so the wheelbase was now a little longer than, resulting in an extensive re-style with more-raked windscreen, raised roofline, and reshaped rear quarter windows. The major change was at the rear where a Kamm-style tail with spoiler improved the aerodynamics, greatly enhancing stability at high speeds. These many dimensional changes were integrated most successfully, the DB6's overall length increasing by only 2'. Indeed, but for the distinctive Kamm tail one might easily mistake it for a DB5. The Tadek Marek-designed six-cylinder engine had been enlarged to 3,995cc for the preceding DB5 and remained unchanged. Power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp and Borg-Warner automatic transmission was offered alongside the standard ZF five-speed gearbox.The accompanying (copy) guarantee form shows that '3093/R' was delivered new to a Mr Kearsley of Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. The car left the Newport Pagnell factory equipped with Borg Warner automatic transmission; chrome road wheels; heated rear screen; three-ear hubcaps; safety belts; and a power operated aerial. Subsequently the DB6 was owned for many years by AMOC member John Fritchley of Nottinghamshire (erroneously recorded as first owner on the last UK V5C document, copy on file). Mr Fritchley sold the Aston in 2008 and subsequently acquired by Jonathan Nebbitt of London, who commissioned respected specialists Alan Smith Motors of New Romney to carry out a comprehensive refurbishment. Completed in 2009, the works included extensive body repairs; wax-injection of chassis/body cavities; rust-proofing and under-sealing the chassis; fitting a Harvey Bailey handling kit; and replacing the automatic transmission with a BPA-rebuilt ZF five-speed manual gearbox. A detailed description of the works is on file (as is the copy V5C) and it is understood that some £28,000 was spent on the restoration. In 2012 the DB6 was acquired by the owner, exported and laid up in secure storage. As a result, it may require some re-commissioning prior to being used on the road. If it is to remain in the UK it attracts the low import duty rate of 5% and will require re-registering.Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * N* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.N If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, whilst the responsibility of submitting the NOVA rests with the Buyer to do so, Bonhams will facilitate the process by engaging an agent (CARS) to undertake the NOVA on the Buyer's behalf.

The ex-Forrest Lycett, Don McKenzie, 'Jonty' Williamson1927 Bentley 3/4½-Litre Speed Model SportsCoachwork by CorsicaRegistration no. KOY 300Chassis no. HT1631*Corsica body fitted for Forrest Lycett in 1936*Extensively campaigned in BDC and VSCC events*Present ownership since 2006*Well maintained*Substantial history fileFootnotes:With characteristic humility 'W O' was constantly amazed by the enthusiasm of later generations for the products of Bentley Motors Limited, and it is testimony to the soundness of his engineering design skills that so many of his products have survived. From the humblest of beginnings in a mews garage off Baker Street, London in 1919, the Bentley rapidly achieved fame as an exciting fast touring car, well able to compete with the best of European and American sports cars in the tough world of motor sport in the 1920s. Bentley's domination at Le Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930 is legendary, and one can only admire the Herculean efforts of such giants as Woolf Barnato, Jack Dunfee, Tim Birkin and Sammy Davis, consistently wrestling the British Racing Green sports cars to victory. W O Bentley proudly unveiled the new 3-litre car bearing his name on Stand 126 at the 1919 Olympia Motor Exhibition, the prototype engine having fired up for the first time just a few weeks earlier. Bentley's four-cylinder 'fixed head' engine incorporated a single overhead camshaft, four-valves per cylinder and a bore/stroke of 80x149mm. Twin ML magnetos provided the ignition and power was transmitted via a four-speed gearbox with right-hand change. The pressed-steel chassis started off with a wheelbase of 9' 9½' then adopted dimensions of 10' 10' ('Standard Long') in 1923, the shorter frame being reserved for the TT Replica and subsequent Speed Model. Rear wheel brakes only were employed up to 1924 when four-wheel Perrot-type brakes were introduced.In only mildly developed form, this was the model that was to become a legend in motor racing history and which, with its leather-strapped bonnet, classical radiator design and British Racing Green livery, has become the archetypal Vintage sports car. Early success in the 1922 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy, when Bentleys finished second, fourth, and fifth to take the Team Prize, led to the introduction of the TT Replica (later known as the Speed Model) on the existing 9' 9½' wheelbase, short standard chassis. Identified by the Red Label on its radiator, the Speed Model differed by having twin SU 'sloper' carburettors, a higher compression ratio, different camshaft and the close-ratio A-type gearbox, the latter being standard equipment prior to 1927 when the C-type 'box was adopted. These engine changes increased maximum power from the standard 70 to 80bhp and raised top speed to an impressive 90mph. Other enhancements included the larger (11-gallon) fuel tank and (usually) André Hartford shock absorbers. Bentley made approximately 1,600 3-Litre models (513 to Speed Model specification), the majority of which was bodied by Vanden Plas with either open tourer or saloon coachwork. Indeed, VdP was responsible for bodying Speed Model 'HT1631', which was completed with the North London coachbuilder's four-seat tourer coachwork in September 1927 and sold new to one K S Peacock. The car left the factory fitted with engine number 'HT1634' and was first registered as 'OX 1607'. Arguably this car's greatest claim to fame is the fact that it was once owned by Forrest Lycett, gentleman racing driver and renowned Bentley aficionado, who was also one of the founders of the Bentley Drivers' Club (BDC). Forrest Lycett owned a succession of standard and not-so-standard Bentleys (many of which still exist) including the legendary 8-Litre built for him by Lewis 'Mac' McKenzie. Clearly a man with an insatiable appetite for speed, Forrest Lycett first attained a genuine 100mph on the public highway while driving his Speed Six in Spain, and in 1951 was timed at 136mph on the Jabbeke autoroute in Belgium at the wheel of the 8-Litre. Prior to WW2 the latter had been one of the world's fastest road cars, setting the International Class B standing-start kilometre record at Brooklands in 1937 and the British standing-start mile record at the Surrey track in 1939. Taking a break from his job in the City of London, Forrest Lycett famously drove to Brooklands on the latter occasion, broke the record and was back at his desk soon afterwards. It was Lycett who in 1936 commissioned the two-seat Corsica body this car has today. Based in North London, Corsica was a relatively small firm that allowed clients considerable freedom in determining their cars' final appearance – surely the ultimate in 'bespoke' – an approach that endeared it to wealthy sporting motorists such as Lycett. In February 1950, Lycett gave the car to Mac McKenzie's son Don, probably in appreciation of the work Don had done for him. In a (copy) article on file, Don recalls that the Bentley had been 'well stored on blocks in a dry, warm lock-up' and that it required a full engine rebuild. Modifications carried out included fitting standard-bore Specialoid pistons; replacing the ML magnetos with Scintilla units; fitting a Borg & Beck clutch and lightened flywheel; and installing a coaxial starter. After the driving position had been adjusted (the body had been made to measure for Lycett), the car 'performed quite well at the BDC Silverstone meeting...' Further modifications were made over the winter months and Don went on to make several attempts at 100 miles in the hour, first at Monza and later at Montlhéry. By this time reregistered 'KOY 300', the car is pictured at Monza and Silverstone in Ray Roberts' Bentley Specials & Special Bentleys. Circa 1955 a triple-carburettor 4½-litre engine was fitted to the chassis, which by this time featured hydraulic brakes, 16' wheels, and a lowered radiator. From 1962 'KOY 300' was owned by well-known 'Vintage' racer 'Jonty' Williamson, who enjoyed considerable success, winning the BDC's Rolls-Royce Trophy on four occasions, as well as the VSCC's Pomeroy Trophy and Richard Seaman Memorial Trophy. The Brighton Speed Trials were attended regularly.The Bentley is known to have passed later on through the hands of dealer Bunty Scott-Moncrieff. A (copy) old-style logbook on file lists two subsequent owners: Lord Binning of Dunbar and from September 1977 Paul-Heinz Roehll (Röhll), a German citizen with a home in Staffordshire. The Bentley appears to have resided in Germany from 1977 to 2005, latterly in the ownership of Mr Jürgen Pyritz, who had the car maintained by recognised Vintage Bentley specialist, Neil Davies (NDR Ltd). It was Neil who replaced the engine for the previous German owner, installing a genuine 4½-litre unit rebuilt with a Phoenix crankshaft and con-rods.The current vendor acquired 'KOY 300' from NDR in 2006, and there are bills on file showing that during the next two years the car benefited from considerable work undertaken by Vintage and Historic restoration specialists D H Day of Swindon. Some £40,000-50,000 has been spent during the vendor's stewardship. Little changed in appearance since Forrest Lycett's day, 'KOY 300' is a highly developed competition 3-Litre with a sporting pedigree stretching back to the 1930s. It is capable of exceeding 100mph and Bonhams can vouch for the fact that it goes like the proverbial rocket! Recently serviced and offered with a substantial data file, this historic 3-Litre is a car for the active Bentley enthusiast.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1962 Lancia Flaminia Sport 3C 2.5-Litre CoupéCoachwork by Carrozzeria ZagatoRegistration no. 243 XVCChassis no. 824.13.3311*One of 174 Sport 3C 2.5-litre Zagatos made*Desirable triple-carburettor model*Professionally restored by Thornley Kelham (2015-2019)*Receipts totalling £322,000 available*Only circa 4,000 kilometres since completionFootnotes:This striking Zagato-bodied Lancia Flaminia Super Sport features the Milanese styling house's renowned 'double bubble' body form in which low overall lines and a rounded streamlined shape are achieved by the simple but ingenious device of convex head-clearance roof bulges above each front seat. One of the oldest and most respected of automotive design firms, Zagato was quick to exploit the popularity of the new GT racing category after WW2, supplying factory teams and catering for the privateer scene with roadable cars that could be driven competitively on the racetrack come the weekend. The creator of some of the most memorable designs of this, arguably Zagato's most productive period, was Ercole Spada. Favouring soft fluent, aerodynamic lines, Spada introduced the sawn-off tail on the Alfa Romeo Giulia Tubolare Zagato and was also responsible for the Alfa Romeo Giulietta and 2600 SZs. His creations on Lancia chassis included the Zagato Sport/Super Sport variants of the Flavia, Fulvia and Flaminia.Introduced at the 1956 Turin Motor Show, Lancia's top-of-the-range Flaminia retained its Aurelia predecessor's mechanical layout, though Lancia's traditional 'sliding pillar' independent front suspension gave way to a more-modern double wishbone arrangement. Aurelia carry-overs were the 60-degree, 2,458cc, overhead-valve, V6 engine, and the De Dion rear transaxle with inboard brakes. The Zagato-bodied Sport and Super Sport models shared a shortened wheelbase with the Touring-styled GT/GTL coupés and the Convertible, and all featured disc brakes and increased power. A 2,775cc engine was introduced in 1962, by which time the sportier Flaminias were capable of around 200km/h (130mph).Zagato made a number of styling changes over the years, though determining the configuration and specification of individual cars is extremely difficult. Faired-in headlamps under Plexiglas cowls featured on the first 99 cars, which were followed by a further 100 single-carburettor models with open vertical headlamps. Introduced in 1961, the 3C variant featured triple Weber 35DCN carburettors in place of the single Solex, which raised maximum power to 140bhp. Later Sport and Super Sport models were fitted with the 2.8-litre engine. Featuring the Milanese carrozzeria's signature 'double bubble' roof, this example of the last word in old-style Lancia design is one of 174 Zagato Sport 3C 2.5-litre models built during 1962/1963. Chassis number '3311' had been in the same ownership since 1979 when it was purchased as a 'barn find' from its French owner by renowned marque specialists, Thornley Kelham. The Flaminia was subsequently sold to the current owner, who commissioned Thornley Kelham to undertake a complete 'last-nut-and-bolt' restoration to better-than-new condition. Final costs totalled £322,000 and all receipts are available.Commencing in November 2015, this total restoration would take some four years to complete, during which all mechanical sub-assemblies were stripped and fully rebuilt. The car was rewired and fully re-trimmed, while over 1,200 hours were spent on painstakingly removing the body's aluminium panels, repairing the corroded steel chassis, and repairing and refitting the body. Every nut and bolt was removed, cleaned, and then either reconditioned or replaced before being repainted. The Flaminia is now finished in a very elegant silver/grey with a red leather interior, and has won several concours prizes since completion in 2019. The car has covered only some 4,000 kilometres over the last two years and, as one would expect, is presented in immaculate condition. Rarely do such exceptional examples come on the open market. Offered with a V5C Registration Certificate and the aforementioned restoration receipts.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1968 Aston Martin DBS Sports SaloonRegistration no. not UK registeredChassis no. DBS/5013/R*First registered in the UK*Restored by Chris Shenton Engineering in 1999*Present ownership since 2012Footnotes:Although always intended to house the new Tadek Marek-designed V8 engine, the Aston Martin DBS first appeared with the 4.0-litre 'six' of the concurrently produced DB6. Styled in-house by William Towns, the beautiful DBS caused quite a stir, Autocar magazine observing: 'Without the aid of an Italian stylist the Newport Pagnell team came up with something as modern, handsome and Italianate as anything from the Turin coachbuilders at that time.'Assessing the virtues of Aston's new flagship, Autocar judged it superior to the DB6 in many areas, the bigger DBS offering four full-sized seats in addition to transformed handling and roadholding courtesy of the new rear suspension and standardised power steering. This DBS was originally registered on 10th May 1968 in Cheshire with the registration 'CMB 180F'. Its copy guarantee form shows that the Aston was delivered via Wilmslow Garages and first owned by a Mr PWA Sutton of Sussex. The original colour scheme was Kingfisher Blue with dark blue interior trim, and the car left the factory equipped with power assisted steering; a Motorola radio; and front seat belts.In 1999 the DBS was extensively rebuilt by marque specialists Chris Shenton Engineering. The restoration included an engine rebuild (stripped to the bare block); inspection of the gearbox; chassis repaired wherever necessary and Waxoyled; brakes fully reconditioned; and the electrics overhauled. The preceding owner purchased the Aston in August 2002 from the proprietor of a Nissan main dealership in Dublin, ROI where it was registered 'ZV 6338'. The car was maintained regularly in Dublin, the most significant work done being cylinder head gasket replacement in October 2003 and conversion to unleaded compatibility by specialists South Cerney Engineering. The clutch was replaced in 2011. The current owner purchased the DBS at Bonhams' sale at the RAF Museum, Hendon in April 2012 (Lot 355) and subsequently exported the car. As such, it now attracts the low import duty rate of 5% if it is to remain in the UK. Having been stored for the intervening period, the car may require some re-commissioning prior to road use.Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * N* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.N If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, whilst the responsibility of submitting the NOVA rests with the Buyer to do so, Bonhams will facilitate the process by engaging an agent (CARS) to undertake the NOVA on the Buyer's behalf.
