Yet another camera car

Extending my collection of cars used in filming famous motorsport movies, here is the second camera car used in Steve McQueen's Le Mans - a Porsche 908 Flunder in special packaging.

This car was Steve McQueen's personal Porsche 908/01 Spyder (chassis 908-022) in which he had achieved second place in the Sebring 12 hour race in 1970.  For filming at Le Mans later that year, the car was converted into a camera carrier and was equipped with three cameras, one in front and two at the back above the gearbox.

Here's the real car filming at Le Mans:

About time I watched the film again!

There is only one more slot car representation of a camera car that I'm aware of.  I've got my eye on it...

Another camera car

One of my Christmas presents from Louise is a very rare Fly model of a Porsche 917K in Gulf livery.

This is part of a limited edition series of cars issued a few years back to commemorate the making of the classic Steve McQueen film "Le Mans".

The car was driven by Vic Elford for high speed filming on the Mulsanne Straight with a film camera mounted on the bonnet, which made for very interesting handling characteristics!
