Equipment
Fuchs wheels, Michelin X blackwalls, A C, Blaupunkt AM FM, Prototipo leather rim steering wheel, sliding sunroof. Good repaint, dirty chassis with old undercoat. Aged original back seats, good new front seat upholstery. Sound chrome and window trim. The Steve McQueen 911S with four owners from new.
Market commentary
Skillfully presented by RM with a video of the opening credits from Le Mans featuring the 911S, the marketing exceeded all expectations of bidding, bringing a price a million dollars plus over the value of the underlying 911S. Itself a fine car, the hype was intoxicating and the bidding kept going between a lady in the room and a phone bidder. The result is all about Steve McQueen, and his bum prints have been erased by the new front seat upholstery (unless there was some evidence of extracurricular messing around on the original back seats.) This is huge money, all about the McQueen legend.
