Steve McQueen's Ferrari auctioned at 6 million pounds

'King of Cool' Steve McQueen's 1967 Ferrari has been sold off for six million pounds at an auction.

The Ferrari 275 GTB/4, originally delivered to the late actor on the set of movie 'Bullitt', has been bought by a British collector, reported the Daily Mirror.

The unnamed buyer spent four times what it would be worth without the connection to the film star.

"The McQueen factor is simply immeasurable. There is nothing better to spend your money on than a Steve McQueen Ferrari." said Max Girardo, managing director of RM Auctions.
