\nA 1970 Porsche 911S formerly owned by Steve McQueen, and featured in his Hollywood film Le Mans<\/em>, will be offered by RM Auctions at their upcoming Monterey sale on August 19 \u2013 20, 2011.
\nBuilt to the highest 1970 specification, complete with air conditioning and a full complement of factory options, the Slate Grey Porsche 911S stars in the film\u2019s opening sequence as McQueen\u2019s character, hotshot Porsche driver, Michael Delaney, drives through the French countryside, reflecting on life, death and racing.
\nIn addition to its starring role in the film, the Porsche 911S was used as McQueen\u2019s personal transport during the movie\u2019s production, later joining his own stable of motor cars in California \u2013 a collection that over the years included everything from a Jaguar XK-SS, multiple Ferraris, Porsches, airplanes, motorcycles and everything in between.
\nToday, the Steve McQueen Porsche 911S is presented in original condition, and is offered from the collection of one of America\u2019s foremost Porsche aficionados.
\n\u201cThere is no more iconic racing film than \u201cLe Mans\u201d and no more charismatic owner of many of the world\u2019s great sports cars than Steve McQueen,\u201d says Rob Myers, Chairman and Founder, RM Auctions.
\n\u201cWe are delighted to have been selected to present this iconic car at our upcoming Monterey sale. Combining a well-documented history with an exciting celebrity and screen provenance, it will make for a valuable addition to any notable car collection.\u201d
\nReturning to the Monterey Peninsula, August 19 \u2013 20, the RM Auctions Monterey 2011 event will feature approximately 175 investment-quality motor cars.
