Behold the 1962 Aston Martin DB4 Coupe – the best road going Aston of its day: stable, plush and fitted with the powerful GT inline 6 engine of its racing sister.

This car (one of only seven made with left hand drive), dressed in black with red Connolly Vaumol leather interior, comes complete with Gold Certification by Aston Martin Works, making it – arguably – the finest DB4 on the market.

Still accepting (presumably hefty) bids having failed to sell at auction this week.

Behold: the Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus Boot Buggy – a new departure for the hypercar manufacturer owned by 1980s film director and financier James ‘The Exterminator’ Glickenhaus.

The Boot Buggy, inspired by Steve McQueen’s Baja Boot is available as a 460bhp road legal version and a heavy-duty 650bhp racer destined to compete at the Baja 1000.

Yours (in the two door configuration above ) for about €232,500.

Behold: the Thomas Crown Affair Dune Buggy – which is to say, the actual Meyers Manx that Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway raced along the beach in the 1968 film that made Dunaway a Hollywood A-lister and started the dune buggy craze (which still hasn’t abated).

The car that McQueen himself helped to design (a VW chassis with a flat-six 230bhp Chevrolet Corvair engine) comes up for auction next year.
