Looks like the Bloomberg writer got it wrong. According to the original Christie's description, the car was purchased from the Siffert collection by McQueen while the movie was being shot. It did not come to Christie's directly from the Siffert estate.
Steve McQueen 1971 Porsche 911 T Coupe
So it's a Siffert car bought by McQueen for his co-star mistress - should have gotten more attention at auction, IMO. But then again, most of the Paris bidders were probably waiting for the $504K sugar bowl.
