Steve McQueen E-Type?

I was browsing through one of the classic cars magazines recently (could've been Classic & Sportscar), and in this edition there was an article about a U.S E-Type that was owned by a chap who said the imported car was owned by several well-known people over the years, one of those being Steve McQueen. I'm aware of McQueen's collection of various classics like the XKSS, Ferrari's etc, but I had never heard of him owning an E-Type before. Doing a search came up with nothing, couldn't find any photos or info of him owning one. In the article it shows a small B&W photo of McQueen posing in this E-Type (which I think was a roadster).

It's surprising how many celebs owned an E-Type, some are common knowledge like George Best, but others like Adam Faith and Nigel Havers aren't so and seem to be hard to come by with regards to any info or photos about their E-Types.

So McQueen never owned one, which I suppose was obvious as I've never heard anyone talk about him owning one. I'm aware of most of the people mentioned as owning one (inc those photos), but some like Sellers I've heard owned one but never seen photos of him with it. Also, there was the chap (can't remember name) who was in the Hattie Jacques dramatisation who was seen driving one in a few scenes, although the model was obviously of the wrong time period (a series 2 2+2 in 1961?, hmmm), but I couldn't find any reference to the real life person having owned one.

Didn't know George Harrison crashed his and bought a DB5, I know McCartney owned an Aston though.
