Steve McQueen's 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4, was recently sold at an auction for six million pounds, which is four times more than its original value.

It was thought that a very rich British car collector, whose name was unknown and was bidding over the telephone, bought the Ferrari, which was originally delivered to "The King of Cool" on the movie set of 'Bullitt', the Mirror reported.

Max Girardo, managing director of RM Auctions, said the McQueen factor was simply immeasurable and there would be nothing better than spending money on McQueen's Ferrari.
