Auction Block: Steve McQueen’s 1934 Indian Sport Scout

Actor Steve McQueen of The Great Escape and Papillon fame was an avid motorcycle collector before his death in 1980. In fact, he once owned a 1934 Indian Sport Scout that will soon be put up for auction.

The Indian Sport Scout owned by the once popular actor was a slimmer version of the classic Indian Scout model. It ran on a 750 cc engine, and McQueen’s particular cycle sported an impressive ivory and black paint job. The bike had an open frame and a Euro-style fork. Even with the awful seat set-up, it’s expected to reach a sale price between $83,600 and $99,000 USD when it goes up for auction through Bonhams on October 18 at Staffordshire County Showground.
