Collectors worldwide are all a-quiver with news that later this this year Bonhams<\/a>, the auctioneer, will offer Steve McQueen\u2019s 1971 Husqvarna 400 for sale \u2013 along with a trunkful of racing trophies the actor and self-confessed racer-bum accumulated over the years.<\/p>\n

Hosted on May 14th at Quail Lodge in Carmel, California, Bonhams\u2019 sale of \u201cExceptional Motorcycles & Related Memorabilia\u201d will include what is understood to be the very motorcycle a shirtless McQueen was pictured astride on the front cover of the August 1971 issue of Sports Illustrated .<\/p>\n

You can’t help but love the stripped-down Husky’s profile – its nimbleness must have been a revelation for a new generation of yank offroaders who had been struggling on modded, but clumsy, weighty US bikes.<\/p>\n

According to various recent wire reports The 1971 Husqvarna 400 was originally purchased from the Steve McQueen Estate Sale in 1984 at Harrah\u2019s Auto Collection in Las Vegas, the very locale where Bonhams\u2019 recent motorbike sale was conducted.<\/p>\n

The motorcycle, which son, Chad McQueen, reportedly said was his father\u2019s favorite off-road brand \u2013 comes with a box of accessories owned by McQueen. Other McQueen ephemera will be offered at the sale including numerous racing trophies won by the legend himself.<\/p>\n

Is there no end to the power of the McQueen legacy?<\/p>\n
