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

A fine Charles III olivewood and parquetry inlaid oyster eight-day longcase clock with ten inch dialWilliam Clement, London, circa 1680The five finned and latched pillar bell-striking movement with plates measuring 6.5 by 5 inches and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the strike train with external countwheel for sounding the hour on a bell mounted above the plates, the 10 inch square brass dial with finely matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised two-tier trident half hour markers and Arabic fine minutes within the outer minute track, with sculpted pierced steel hands, gilt winged cherub head cast spandrels to angles and engraved signature William Clement Londini Fecit to lower margin, the case with rising hood fitted with a cherub-mask centred floral carved ebonised swan-neck crest over ogee cornice and foliate scroll pieced frieze fret to the entablature, above fixed glazed dial aperture flanked by ebonised Solomonic columns, the sides with rectangular glazed windows and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with convex throat over 40 inch rectangular door inlaid with an oval starburst parquetry panel incorporating inter-looped subsidiaries above the oval lenticle and a matching slightly lobed panel beneath, set into an oyster olivewood ground with conforming quadrant decoration at the angles, line borders and ebonised D-moulded surround, the sides veneered with single panels of further olivewood oysters within crossbanded borders, the plinth base with stepped ogee part-ebonised top moulding over conforming oval and quadrant panel parquetry decoration and standing on ebonised bun feet, 199cm (78.5ins) high. William Clement is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born before 1622, possibly 1621 in St. Albans. He was made a Freeman in the Blacksmiths Company in 1654 and rose to the Livery in 1664. From around 1665 Clement lived in the Parish of St. Saviours, Southwark, possibly to escape the plague from which his two sons William and Francis may have died. In 1659 a William Clement was commissioned as Lt Colonel in the White Regiment of Foot of the Parliamentarian Army. Clement was still alive in 1675 however records from this time onwards become confused with that of his son of the same name.In 1671 William Clement supplied a turret clock for Kings College, Cambridge, this clock was traditionally considered to be the earliest surviving timepiece to be regulated by anchor escapement and long pendulum supporting the possibility that Clement was the inventor. This view was further perhaps fortified by an entry in Smith, John Horological Disquisitions (1694) which states 'Mr William Clement, had at last the good fortune to give it the finishing stroke, he being indeed the real contriver of that curious kind of long pendulum, which is at this day so universally in use among us'. From this it would be fair to interpret Smith as not crediting Clement with the actual invention of the long pendulum, but perhaps is instead indicating that he devised the arrangement subsequently universally adopted which must be the recoil anchor. Two years later William Derham in The-Artificial Clock-Maker puts the case forward for Dr. Robert Hooke, who it is said demonstrated the long pendulum to the Royal Society soon after the Fire of London, however it is not clear whether this was with a form of recoil anchor escapement (although it is generally accepted that Hooke devised the spring pendulum suspension). Another contender for its invention is Joseph Knibb who, in early 1670, supplied a turret clock for Wadham College, Oxford, complete with anchor recoil escapement and long pendulum. But again there is no documentary evidence to support a view that Knibb actually devised this form of regulation. In 1677 William Clement was made a Free Brother of the Clockmakers Company and the following year was appointed Assistant by unanimous consent and approbation and for good reasons and especial esteem. He later served as Warden in 1690 and Master in 1694. In 1697 Clement signed the Oath of Allegiance and was from September of that year excused from attending meetings on account of his age. From April 1704 he received charity payments from the Company until his death in July 1709. The case of the current lot is fine example of a rare type which appear to have only been made in fairly small numbers for the relatively short time span of circa 1680-85. Two comparable cases housing movements and dials by Joseph Knibb are illustrated in Dawson, Percy G.; Drover C.B. and Parkes D.W. Early English Clocks on page 254 (Plate 340) and Lee, Ronald A. The Knibb Family * Clockmakers on page 32 (Plate 23); another this time for a movement and dial by Joseph Windmills, is pictured in Bruton, Eric The Wetherfield Collection of Clocks on page 134 (number 83); and finally a fourth by Tompion can be found in Dawson, Percy G. THE IDEN CLOCK COLLECTION on page 70. The dial of the present clock notable in that there is no subsidiary seconds to the centre, this very much follows the practice of Joseph Knibb, who from about 1680, appeared to more often than not dispense with the provision of a subsidiary seconds dial. From this it would seem that with the current clock Clement was keeping abreast of fashion by supplying an example which emulated that of his prolific rival.
