  Le Mans

  £1,295.00

  “Steve McQueen takes you for a drive in the country…The country is France. The drive is at 200 MPH!”

  Incredibly rare original 1971 French Grande “Le Mans” movie poster. Any paper from this sought after Steve McQueen motor racing title is sought after, with the French Grande design considered one of the very best for this iconic McQueen movie. Beautiful, photo realistic painted artwork by Rene Ferracci, featuring a stunning image of McQueen as a backdrop to the race cars, that in this large format is particularly impressive. Originally folded (as issued) this unrestored example presents and displays to very good effect with only minimal age and handling wear. A film where any posters are genuinely scarce and very hard to find due to the very limited cinematic release at the time. It has (over time) become an iconic and much admired motor sports film showing just why Steve McQueen was the true King of Cool…Highly recommended; a personal favourite, classic and elegant…A great looking piece of truly collectable movie and motor racing memorabilia and it’s STEVE MCQUEEN ! …“Racing’s important to men who do it well. When you’re racing, it’s life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting”

  Trivia: The 1970 911S Porsche driven by Steve McQueen in the opening scenes (and owned by his Solar Productions) was auctioned in 2011 and brought in $1.375 million and his worn racing suit from the movie sold for $960.000

  £35.00

  “Dice was his vice. Men hers.”

  A simple and effective film poster that sells the movie through its two main stars; Elizabeth Taylor & Warren Beatty who both feature in a lovely black & white photographic portrait offset against a muted orange background. Originally folded (as issued) and unrestored this rare 1969 US one sheet movie poster presents superbly and is displays to excellent effect. Extremely hard to find this US version is an eye-catching  piece that represents an excellent example of very stylish collectable original film memorabilia for two of the screens greatest stars.
