The Great Escape (1936) 1960 Triumph TR6 Trophy Motorcycle Replica (Exhibited W/Documentation) - This 1960 Triumph TR6 Trophy motorcycle was built to mimic the TR6 Trophy used by Steve McQueen in the 1936 American epic war film, The Great Escape.

Now a classic, the film is noted for its motorcycle chase and jump scene, which is considered one of the best stunts ever performed.
