How mush is McQueen's Ferrari?

Don't know if most of you guys in UK can see this

Well, probably. You see, last weekend in Monaco at the annual RM Auctions sale, a 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/C – number nine of only twelve cars ever built – sold for just under £4.7m (€5,712,000), making it the most expensive fixed-head 275.
So what of McQueen's 275? The Bullitt star ordered it during the filming of The Thomas Crown Affair, and immediately sent it to be repainted “Chianti Red” before he even drove it. Well, why not?
He also fitted the Borrani wire wheels from his “beloved” (and totalled) 275 GTB NART Spider, along with a custom rear view mirror, retractable radio antenna and custom seat trim. Once all this work was completed, the car was delivered to McQueen (while he was filming Bullitt in 1968), and remained the only Ferrari in his collection for five years.
McQueen sold it to Guy Williams (TV's Zorro in the late ‘50s/early ‘60s) in 1971, after which the 275 went through a few more “respected” owners (ie, not Gymkhana enthusiasts), before being purchased by the current owner in 2010.
This owner commissioned Ferrari Classiche to complete a full restoration, with the car remaining a feature attraction at the Ferrari Museum throughout 2013. And for good reason, too, because it's a beaut. The GTB/4 was the first production Ferrari to be fitted with the four overhead cam version of the V12, derived directly from the P2 prototype; a 3.3-litre V12 packing 300bhp capable of sending the 275 to a top speed of 166mph.
So, how much do you reckon it'll sell for? McQueen's 275 will be auctioned alongside a 2006 FXX and 1961 250 GT NART Spider at RM Auctions' Monterey sale, taking place in California between 15-16 August. We suspect some millions will be involved.

I think it will make a world record, Anything that has belonged to him always brings good money,

No point having a punt because knowbody knows until the auction,
If i had millions i would blow most of it buying it,
Dont forget it isnt just a car, same as a painting of a load of flowers, safe money,
At the moment classic cars are number one investment,
Nick Mason of Pink Floyd has the most valuable Ferrari in the UK, Chris Evans just plays at it,
Being able to buy that is a dream for me, I'l stick with the MG then   

Yesterday i went for petrol in the MG,
always somebody wants to talk about the MG or ask its age value the usual,
So i'm walking out to the car and a guy starts talking to me, i couldnt hear him so i said what was that ? He said "Alzimers and dimentia"    Whats that about i said, He then rattles what i thought was a costa coffee from the machine, but was a collection tin   I made a quick escape laughing my head off, he sould have given me the contents of the tin    Feck me
