Gandini sure knew what he was doing when he penned these cars. My shop neighbor was a Citroen and Maserati mechanic and took me for a few death rides in his Khamsin. What a car! The glass rear panel was clearly unusual, but that baby was a fine looking and driving supercar. Good for you!

This is going to be a whole new learning experience
The Khamsin had several unusual features, such as DIRAVI power steering, with higher than usual assistance for parking, decreasing with speed, and a glass rear panel (between the taillights) below the rear window, giving reverse visibility surpassing most cars, especially similar sports cars. Also, the Khamsin had features like hydraulic seats and an adjustable steering column, which were innovative features at the time. Air-conditioning was standard on the Khamsin
The hydraulics are from Citroen a pump that runs off the engine makes 2500 psi it powers the seat, headlight covers , clutch, steering, and the brakes, then there are those 4 Weber duals on top of the engine
This going to be a real test
Cheers

Those Carello light assemblies were shared with about every Italian car of the time. Great for "availability" issues.
I'll keep my yap shut with regard to the hydraulics... if the accumulators are good and everything works, you're gold, Mark. :laugh:
