Product Description
No other Hollywood star has been so closely linked with cars and bikes, from the 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback he drove in Bullitt (in the greatest car chase of all time) to the Triumph motorcycle of The Great Escape. McQueen's Machines gives readers a close up look at the cars and motorcycles McQueen drove in movies, those he owned, and others he raced. With a foreword by Steve's son, Chad McQueen, and a wealth of details about of the star's racing career, stunt work, and car and motorcycle collecting, McQueen's Machines draws a fascinating picture of one outsized man's driving passion. Revised and updated from its original hardcover edition.

You do not find out much about Steve in this book so dont buy it for that reason but you do get an insight into his love of cars & bikes and some very good stories from friends about his passion for cars etc. I am not that into cars but found this book fascinating and the pictures are brilliant!!! All in all a good buy for me as a fan!

This book is a real Petrolheads dream !!
Excelllent ,well made hardback " coffee table " book and one which shows the reader just how much of car collector and all round car lover this acting legend was! Loads of really cool and rare pictures of Steve Mcqueen and his cars from the beginning of his famous life right up to his tragic early end..
If there was one thing Steve Mcqueen loved more than women and acting for piles of cabbage ( US Dollars) it was his love of cars ...
Left me thinking if Steve Mcqueen came back today and saw the cars around now what would he have bought first!!!!
Great book on the man , the legend and his really cool cars!!! :-D
