A 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 once owned by actor Steve McQueen is one of several iconic models set to head under the hammer at auction later this month.
Originally owned by the ‘King of Cool’, the Ferrari has been fully restored to McQueen’s specifications by specialists Ferrari Classiche under the ownership of racing driver Vern Schuppan.
Auction house RM Sotheby’s – who is listing the Ferrari as part of its upcoming Monterey sale on August 17-19 – says that McQueen used the 275 to commute to the set of the iconic movie Bullitt, too.
It now comes accompanied by an estimate of between $5m and $7m (around £3.9m to £5.4m). A number of other iconic models will also head to auction, including a Ferrari 250 LM by Scaglietti which could fetch up to $20m and a 1957 Jaguar XKSS which could head as high as $14m.
