    This'll be a fascinating auction result

    Ex-Vern Schuppan, converted into a Spyder in the '70s --- now restored back to a Berlinetta

    . . . Ferrari jumped at the chance to work on the McQueen 275 GTB/4, describing it as 'one of the more interesting cars ever to leave the factory'.
    They reproduced the roof and buttresses with hand-beaten steel panels, before respraying the car from silver to the dark red which The Great Escape star had opted for.
    Incredibly, the original rear deck, rear glass and chrome surround, internal rear pillars and other related pieces were reunited following its 1970s roof removal . . .

    'Incredible,' indeed

    I believe this McQueen Ferrari is at the Peterson Museum parked next to his Jaguar . . . at least it was three days ago when I saw it.
