Steve McQueen's "Le Mans" racer up for auction

One of Steve McQueen's 1969 Lola T70 MkIII Bs will go on sale this month and it poses a rare opportunity for film fans to own a piece of cinematic history.

The car was originally purchased by McQueen's Solar Productions film company for his 1971 movie "Le Mans". The iconic actor used three Lola models in the end, including this particular car, as his penchant for crashing vehicles saw the actor burn through props at quite a rate.
