Merged: Ex-Steve McQueen Lusso up for auction

Hey Bryan,

Just got off the phone with the owner of 0502 and it goes on the block Saturday. It will be exciting to see where she ends up, hopefully with another battle for ownership.

cheers

If that was Steve McQueen's, you might take the value with a grain of salt.

I was thinking that there really should be the famous picture (s) with Steve's autograph to go with it for that price.

 

It was McQueens, and because of that it went for at least double what it is worth.
I heard Eric Clapton was the buyer.

 

Here are some pictures of the car....

I have to wonder if that car will bring that kind of money next time it comes up?

completly creasy....there s people who are boring with is money

 

Steve Mac Queen is a trade Mark, the price grew up very fast!!
be happy with this Luso.

 

Five people at work asked if it was me on Friday...

 

It even made CNN...

By the way, T308, did Tom Snyder own Ferrari?

 

You know, I have no idea, I'd like to think he did! His replacement at KNBC owns one (Paul Moyer's got a Daytona Spyder).

it s so hard to find good pictures of this car!!!! thanks
someone knows about the new owner?

 

News on other sales, the Cal Spider LWB's?

 

Saw him as your avatar and was wondering about the connection. I always thought he, Keith Berwick and now Charlie Rose were the best interviewers on television.

 

Just honoring him as he died last month. A great personality and a wonderful interviewer.

someone said it was eric clapton.

I like Eric's music....it would be cool if he had excellent taste in cars too.

Still you have to wonder if that car can carry such a price in twenty years.....or such a discrephency compared to a nice no celebrety owned lusso.

Not to worry Tom, E. Clapton does have good car-taste. You should see his Duece coupes from Roy Brizio in SFO. Very tasteful and high quality....bit like a Lusso now that I think of it......

I believe Eric Clapton used to have a RHD 250 Lusso many years ago, English registration number 3HLA. He has cool taste in cars, had a nice 275GTB/4 as well.

 

Maybe I should have taken up music instead of Architecture!

Tom W

 

probably not the first time you've muttered that sentiment either, eh Tom?........;--)

Does anyone know for sure who the buyer was?

 

The 2 guys who bought the car on behalve of the owner where also bidding on the California at the RM-auction

 

I've heard the Lusso has been spotted recently driving around in England.

 

You know Frank Lloyd Wright had some pretty nice cars as well. Yale
