Thanks, Curt. I don't think that I've seen this one before!

In the links I found another excellent video, although it's in French. It was made by a French crew before the 1970 race and includes an interview with McQueen in his hotel, great shots of him driving away in the slate gray 1970 911S (where we can see that at that time it had the stock steering-wheel), and shots of McQueen's 908 still wearing number 48 from Sebring being outfitted with the cameras and blisters while Rico Steinemann explains in his excellent Swiss French that McQueen's insurance company won't let him drive at Le Mans. Embedding is disabled, so here's the link:

That was posted (but long since forgotten!) a few years ago from the ina.fr website. Too bad there isn't a voice translator on YouTube yet. Here's 2 from that site, but I thought there was a third? Embeded from the ina.fr site ... after brushing up on my high school French
