Steve McQueen Triumph shows in public for the first time in 40 years!

Steve McQueen Triumph shows in public for the first time in 40 years!

If you are a fan of movies and motorcycles, there’s a film that you’ll probably know: The Great Escape, starring Steve McQueen. If you remember correctly, there’s a scene in that movie where Steve uses a Triumph TR6R to jump across a barb wire fence and escape his pursuers.

Well, that motorcycle, one of the three that were made for the movie, has been kept locked in a museum and is currently on display at the Triumph Factory Visitor Experience, at Hinckley. But now, and for the first time in 40 years, Triumph will let the iconic 1962 TR6R leave the security of the museum and be shown publicly.

At the Blenheim Palace Festival of Transport, the bike will be part of the show and try to conquer the visitor’s attentions alongside other iconic motorcycles from the past, across three classes.

If by any chance you are in England and near the Blenheim Palace on the 26 and 27 of August, be sure to pas by this event and take a look at this special Triumph that was ridden by Steve McQueen.

With more than ten years as a motorcycle journalist, i enjoy everything that has to do with two-wheels. I'm a fan of sport bikes and i prefer riding them on a racetrack, but give me a road filled with corners and good asphalt and i'll be there to have some fun!
