It was his last home which he lived in with his third wife from 1977 until his death in 1980.

Wow-how many did he own then George?What a shame- James Dean dies in his Porsche 1955, Steve McQueen ( a brother Gyrene) succumbs to cancer in 1980. Never knew he was a Parker man and loved to hunt ducks, as both Gary Cooper and Clark Gable did as well.

Not that much of a performance car guy, once owned a Datsun 2000 (pre-ceeded the Z series) 4 cyl. 5 speed coupe- gun metal grey- had it up to 115 at night (30 years ago) ran down the road steady as a rock. I sold it because it was harder to fit duck decoys, my Lab and a shotgun cased inside, compared to my pickup truck.

More into Harleys (past tense) and loved McQueen doing all his own bike riding in "The Great Escape". I don't know European bikes as well as Harleys, but my guess- a BMW??
