MCQUEEN CAR TO PICK UP A MILLION

A Ferrari belonging to late Hollywood actor STEVE McQUEEN is set to pick up between $800,000 (GBP400,000) and $1.2 million (GBP600,000) at a Christie's auction in August, according to estimates.

The car, driven by the "king of cool" for a decade from 1963, was unveiled by the famous auction house on Friday (27Apr07).

McQueen was a race car enthusiast and often performed his own driving stunts in films.

The sports car, boasting a metallic-brown exterior, is a 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso and is said to be in remarkable condition.

Christopher Sanger, a spokesman for Christie's says, "It's probably the best example of a Ferrari Lusso that's out there on the marketplace. Owned by a man who made the automobile and hard driving an essential component of cool in the 60s and 70s, this Lusso offers a truly unique opportunity for the collector."
