Saying this was "Steve McQueens" car is slightly disingenuous. It was purchased by Solar Productions, McQueens film company and Steve may or may not have ever even sat in or driven it during the filming of "LeMans" while Solar owned it. Obviously the McQueen connection brings panache to the chassis but I am a big believer in the car is the value, not the owner.

Would a Nash Metropolitan owned by Humphrey Bogart be worth a million more than any other Metro?
