According to Lemans archives, the 1970 #40 finished 6th overall and first in 2 litre class (1991 cc). In 1971 there was #46 driven by J.Sage/ Keller, and was DNF after 9 hours. Since McQueen was allowed the full use of the track for filming in the days just preceeding the actual Lemans race, there could heve been many cars practicing, qualifying, sorting out -etc. not yet in their full race day livery. The movie also used some back and forth film clips from actual race day footage , edited into McQueens masterpiece.
#40 entry in 1971 was a 911S 2381cc driven by Egreteaud/ Jacquemin, which was DNF after 8 hours.
I'll check with the current owner of #40 in a few and get the scoop for you (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
