Five classic Italian exotics — from Maserati, Lancia, and Lamborghini — offer collectors a unique opportunity at Lucky Auctions.
Lucky Car Collector Auctions is set to turn heads this season with a curated lineup of rare Italian classics that span the golden era of coachbuilt design and high-performance engineering. From Maserati GTs and Lamborghini V12s to an iconic Lancia racer, these five standout vehicles are expected to attract serious collectors and connoisseurs.
Lot #163 – 1979 Maserati Khamsin 5-Speed
Topping the Maserati offerings is a 1979 Khamsin, one of only 100 five-speed manual examples delivered to North America. Designed by Marcello Gandini at Bertone, the Khamsin represented a radical departure in Maserati styling with its sharp wedge shape and glass rear fascia. Powered by a 4.9-liter quad-cam V8 and fed by Weber carburetors, this matching-numbers example shows just 23,128 miles and is presented in a striking white over red leather. In single ownership for 40 years and untouched for a decade, it’s an extremely rare survivor with significant collector potential.
Lot #151 – 1980 Maserati Quattroporte Series III
For those seeking Italian luxury with muscle, this 1980 Maserati Quattroporte Series III is an exceptional example. Powered by a 4.9L V8 mated to a 3-speed automatic, it comes from a curated Italian car collection with over $10,000 in recent maintenance. Finished in Blu Malago with tan leather and designed by Giugiaro, this Quattroporte blends style, comfort, and power in a sedan once favored by European elites.
Lot #173 – 1973 Maserati Bora 4.7 Coupe
A rare opportunity to acquire an unmolested Maserati Bora also awaits bidders. This 1973 Bora is one of only 289 built with the 4.7-liter V8 and retains its original ZF 5-speed transaxle. With just over 17,500 km, the Azurro Chiaro metallic coupe recently received interior refurbishment and hydraulic servicing. While mechanically sound, it awaits a light restoration, making it a prime candidate for a preservation-minded enthusiast.
Lot #185 – 1957 Lancia Aurelia B20 Coupe
Lancia’s engineering brilliance is on full display in this sixth-series 1957 Aurelia B20 GT. Powered by the world’s first production V6 and clothed in elegant Ghia styling, the B20 was a motorsport legend in the early 1950s. This example retains much of its original character and shows exceptional preservation. The car’s black leather interior remains driver-focused and complete. With its advanced design and racing pedigree, it represents one of the most historically significant postwar Italian automobiles.
Lot #168 – 1975 Lamborghini Espada Series III
Completing the lineup is a 1975 Lamborghini Espada Series III — one of only 456 built. Delivered new to Canada and later restored at Lamborghini’s official restoration center, this Oro Metallizzato (gold metallic) Espada is both a showpiece and a statement. Powered by a 3.9L V12 paired with a rare factory 3-speed automatic, it boasts matching numbers and an illustrious ownership history, including former Kuwaiti Prime Minister Sheikh Nasser Al-Mohammed Al-Sabah.
From elegant grand tourers to groundbreaking sedans and exotic supercars, Lucky’s auction showcases a diverse and distinguished selection. With provenance, rarity, and performance all on the docket, collectors won’t want to miss this extraordinary offering of Italian excellence.
