The Triumph TR6 earned its name as a competitive off-road
motorcycle. Riders like Bill Postel, Bud Ekins, and John Giles made
this a popular choice for riders by winning the 1956 Big Bear Run
(Open Class), the 1956 International Six Days Trials (750-cc
class), and the 1956 Catalina Grand Prix (Open Class). In 1963 the
Triumph TR6 made its big screen debut as Steve McQueen's ride of
choice in The Great Escape and it has been a collectible motorcycle
ever since.
One of just 1,150 TR6C or Competition Tigers built for the 1972
model year. It has also benefited from a restoration and presents
very nicely with its original and matching engine and frame, and
TR6R low exhaust.
