: A former DEREK BELL F1 car mechaniker , named just B.W. , who
: did work 5 month on the LeMans movie Set in 1970 with Steve
: McQueen too.

: Heres the Story:

: B.W. was asked by Derek Bell if he would like to be in the a Steve
: McQueen movie in summer 1970 tie , he then was contracted by
: Solar Production Film for 5 months to stay in france on the set
: and he lived with Derek Bell in one House too.
: His job would be to maintenace a Ferrari 512 S in the movie...so he
: became a actor in the film ..you will see him with a orange Gulf
: mechaniker suite on!!.
: As the first Ferrari had a accident on the set ...they got a brand
: new one from Maranello and he didnt have to work alot on the new
: car too.....
: After the Movie was finished the Property Master made up a Film-
: stage- props- sale in a tent for all actors and filmworker s on
: the set !!

: B.W. told me that Steve McQueen took personally and gave away 3
: watches to his friends and Managers too !! This would be a
: evidence / Proof for A.the Antiquarum sold watch from his finace
: manager, B:Michaels Lettermanns watch and C.the watch he gave
: personally to his friend Helmut Kelleners ( now onwed by Jasper
: Bitter)!!

: So B.W. took a choice at this Stage Prop sale too and picked up one
: origl. Monaco from the Property Master but did not get any
: certificate at the site from the property Master( But David
: Piper and also Derek Bell will proof this sale and story
: too!!!!).
