Can any one help me. I would love to know which 1962 Triumph featured in the film The Great Escape, the one that Paul Newman jumped the fence on.
Name and model number please. Plenty of lovely photos of it, just don't have the knowledge.
Thanks
Zoe

Firstly Steve McQueen (or Paul Newman!!) DID NOT DO THE JUMP HIMSELF!
It was done by Bud Ekins.
The bike was a modified Triumph TR6 Trophy.
