Thats a mk1 Rover P6, blimey I wonder if it was his? very advanced car for its time with fantastic ride quality almost Jaguar-like in fact due to its unusual rear axle set-up.

Few are aware that McQueen had a Mini. And he chose a good one, this ’67 Mini Cooper S 1275, one of the most desirable and, naturally, quickest of the original Mini Coopers. It was originally British Racing Green, but McQueen liked to customize his cars a bit back then, if only to make them his own. The Mini was repainted, the wheels chromed and reversed, a sunroof added, and the interior retrimmed in brown vinyl with a wood dash. It now lives in Southern California, and is otherwise much as McQueen owned it. Photo by Matt Stone.

I read about mcqueens car somewhere a while ago.

Im pretty sure he drove it once, smashed it into a kerb and then parked it.

I could be wrong though!

Great pics on Taffy1967's link, saw the Peter Sellers one:-

Posted Image
''Peter Sellers' 1963 Radford Mini Cooper goes under the hammer this week.
His personal transport while in the South of France, it starred in the Clouseau movie A Shot In The Dark, and the special wicker-sided conversion and posh interior are reputed to have cost more than a contemporary Rolls Silver Cloud.
Sellers eventually gave it to his friend and Pink Panther director Blake Edwards.
In perfect original condition, with a haystack of paperwork and photos of Sellers with the car, the estimate is £35k-£40k.'' from 2009

Saw this car back up for sale earlier this year, price on application ...wasnt brave enough to ring and find out :lol:
