Our expert's notes

"Steve McQueen takes you for a drive in the country... The country is France. The drive is at 200 MPH!". This is the first time we have offered or seen this style 1971 "Le Mans" film poster. Any paper from this sought after Steve McQueen motor racing title is scarce but this British UK Quad film poster is the rarest (likely from the film's premiere) for this iconic McQueen movie. Beautifully painted close-up artwork of McQueen by Tom Jung, emphasising the patriotic red, white and blue colours of the America flag and also matching McQueen's racing overalls. Originally folded (as issued), this unrestored example presents and displays well with some obvious handling issues, but nothing a competent restorer couldn't correct. A film where any posters are genuinely scarce and hard to find due to the very limited cinematic release at the time.

30" x 40" (76 x 102 cm)

Condition: Good

Unrestored, folded (as issued) - Overall it displays well with bright unfaded colours - some conditions issues but nothing of major concern including light surface scuffs, clean tears (4" and 5" with no paper loss) to top border and a series of scattered of small tears to edges. Title is written on reverse but this does not bleed through to the front.

Artist: Tom Jung
