In the new November 2011 issue of CAR, on sale now, Ben Oliver chases the ghost of Steve McQueen through southern California, from his first big movie-star pad in the Hollywood Hills to the humble farmhouse he bought soon before his tragic early death. Acting merely paid for McQueen’s compulsive car and bike habit: along the way, Ben meets the people who raced and traded cars with McQueen, drives his favourite road and even eats in his favourite road-house. Ben’s transport is the new Jaguar XKR-S, a nod to the XK-SS which McQueen drove for nine years and loved so much he bought it back just before he died.
Of the dozens of cars and hundreds of motorcycles McQueen owned, the Jaguar was arguably his favourite. But which is yours? With the help of McQueen’s Machines, US writer Matt Stone’s excellent book on the actor’s car habit, CAR Onine compiled the following list of highlights from his collection. Tell us which one is your favourite.
