The 1957 Fiat Bartoletti transporter featured in Steve McQueen’s movie Le Mans, as well as used in the real world by the Maserati, Shelby American and Alan Mann racing teams, will be offered for bidding September 8 at Bonhams’ Goodwood Revival auction, Bonhams announced Tuesday.
During its possession by McQueen’s Solar Productions movie company, the bus-style race-car transporter “was repainted in almost every recognizable racing livery throughout filming to ensure that it could be used as a prop in as many scenes as possible,” Bonhams noted in its news release.
