McQueen affiliated T70 on auction

Not the most beautiful version but really well presented and well, Steve McQueen, Sterling Moss...

Not enough zeroes in my bank account...

Heck, I wouldn't even be able to afford the auction fees.

"This Lola is offered fresh from a recent restoration, wearing a new body and chassis"
and
"A period-correct Ford 289 block and heads set formed the basis of the fresh race engine"

Grandpa's axe comes to mind. You know the one that he has had for 60 years. It has only had five new handles and three new heads!

It seems if Steve McQueen or Paul Newman walked by or stopped to look at a car it get mentioned in the sales pitch.

The cost of shipping it over from Australia could finance a fun new toy!

Yea, and I wonder how long that price bump will last. The younger generation has no idea who Steve and Paul were. They will not care at all about some long ago movie star owning it.

Stunning car imagine it might get into the Rolex Monterey Reunion even though it has no racing history in the US.

That car would look so much better if it were British Racing Green instead of white.

Beautiful car.
Maybe I'll buy it when the race track on my 10,000 acre ranch is finished.

Visually, at least, I do love T70s, whether closed or open. I'd be tickled pink to have that. And while it's not cheap, it's not THAT expensive (in the scheme of classic racecars)

Come on over to my place and use my track until yours is completed. ;)

You should post a scan of your plans! :D
Nice we need pics! :D

You guys may beat out the UK man-cave thread when you post more. :D

Did not sell at auction--most likely did not meet reserve. Was at $220K this AM when I last viewed it.
