During the mid-20th century, BSA became one of the largest motorcycle manufacturers in the world. Iconic models like the BSA Gold Star and the BSA Bantam earned a reputation for their engineering excellence and racing success.

The Mutt founders spent over 15 years on the spanners, and having handled everything from 1920's Indian cut downs, to Harley Knuckles and Panheads, along with classic Brit iron, allowed them to look at small cc motorcycles in a completely new light.

Triumph specialists Ace Classics have crafted several Steve McQueen replica bikes. These include legendary models like The Great Escape motorcycle, Desert Sleds, and the 1964 ISDT bike that McQueen rode in East Germany for Team USA.

For over a century, Triumph's passion and innovation has shaped the evolution of the motorcycle. With an unparalleled history of legends, from category defining motorcycles to racing icons, it is one of the world's most well known and loved motorcycle brands.

In 1964, Hollywood actor Steve McQueen represented the United States at the ISDT in East Germany. The Triumph Trophy TR6 #278 had been delivered to McQueen in London, where he personally modified the machine in preparation for the race.

One of the highlights of the 007 movie "Thunderball" was the sight of leather-clad Bond girl Fiona Volpe astride a BSA A65 Lightning motorcycle, firing rockets from its fairing-mounted missile launcher to destroy Count Lippe's car that was in pursuit of Bond's Aston.

Founded in 1902, Triumph is not only one of the world's oldest and most recognised motorcycle brands, their ruggedly handsome machines possess a natural screen presence that has seen them star in a host of movies spanning seven decades.

This British company, launched in 2013, has swiftly risen to prominence in the world of retro-styled motorcycles. Known for their vintage aesthetics, robust engineering, and accessible price points, Mutt Motorcycles have carved out a unique niche for themselves.

On July 20th, 1963, an all-time classic movie was released. For gentlemen of a certain age, The Great Escape remains a favourite film, and is remembered by all who've seen it for a particular scene - the famous motorcycle chase in which the "Cooler King", Captain Virgil Hilts, leaps over a barbed wire fence. .
