Colin Charles Houghton Davis (born in Marylebone, London, July 29, 1932) was an English Formula One driver. 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 finished 11th in the 1959 Italian Grand Prix in a Scuderia Centro Sud Cooper-Maserati and later shared the winning Porsche in the 1964 Targa Florio with Antonio Pucci.
