Steve McQueen's million-dollar racing suit


If you want to know what a million-dollar racing suit looks like, this is it. And it is not even a real racing suit, it is a suit that Steve McQueen wore when filming Le-Mans.

It seems that fictional racing suits are just as valuable as one that has seen the heat of battle on the body of a real race driver.

The price paid for this Gulf-Oil coloured suit at the Profiles in History auction was USD984,000.
The price went beyond the auctioneers estiamte of between USD200-300K.
