Colin Charles Houghton Davis (born in Marylebone, London, 29 July 1933) is a British former racing driver from England. Son of the legendary "Bentley Boy" and Le Mans winner Sammy Davis (who later became Autocar magazine's distinguished sports editor), he was an advertising executive who raced a 500cc Formula 3 Cooper before decamping to Italy from which he conducted his own racing career. He competed in two World Championship Formula One Grands Prix, finishing 11th in the 1959 Italian Grand Prix in a Scuderia Centro Sud Cooper-Maserati.[1] He also participated in several non-Championship Formula One races.
Davis finished eighth overall and a class winner in the 1960 Nürburgring 1000km, sharing a Ferrari 250GT with Carlo Abate.[2] In the same race the following year he finished fourth overall, again with Abate, in a Ferrari 250GT.[3] Also in 1961 Davis finished fifth in the 4-Hours of Pescara, driving solo in a 1,600 c.c. Osca Sport.[4] He shared the winning Porsche 904 GTS in the 1964 Targa Florio with Antonio Pucci.[5]
