Steve McQueen's 1970 Porsche 911S goes for U.S. $1.25 million at RM
To date, RM has auctioned off 199 vehicles priced over one million U.S. dollars. And here's number 200.
Tonight in Monterey, RM Auctions put Steve McQueen's 1970 Porsche 911S on the block and after a starting bid of U.S. $200,000 the Porsche's price shot up to over one million before slowly coming to rest at $1.1m. Then $1.15, $1.2 and finally $1.25 million.
The 911, seen in the opening scenes of the racing epic, LeMans, was McQueen's personal car throughout the filming and has racked up a total of 180,246 kilometres (112,000 miles) over the last 41 years. We don't know who the final bidder was, but we do know she's in the United States, despite several overseas bids.
