Steve McQueen Porsche 917K makes $14 million at auction

A Porsche 917K used in the Steve McQueen film 'Le Mans' has sold for $14,080,000 (£10,975,000) at an auction at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in California.

The 917K was the car used by Porsche to win Le Mans in 1970 and 1971, although this particular car – chassis number 024 – never actually competed in races. It was instead used in Le Mans pre-training and for testing at the Nurburgring.
