Celebrate the 60th anniversary of one of cinema's most thrilling motorcycle chases with the Corgi The Great Escape Weathered Triumph TR6 Trophy Model! This meticulously crafted 1:12 scale die-cast replica pays homage to the iconic motorcycle that captured the hearts of film fans around the world. The original Triumph TR6 now resides in the Triumph Motorcycles Factory Visitor Experience in Hinckley, but this model brings the excitement of the epic war film straight into your collection.
The unforgettable chase scene from The Great Escape, filmed six decades ago, remains a classic in Hollywood history. After escaping from the maximum-security Stalag Luft III, prisoner of war Captain Virgil Hilts makes a daring escape on a modified Triumph Trophy TR6, racing against time and pursuing German soldiers. This model encapsulates that thrilling moment, showcasing the motorcycle's rugged design as it clears barbed wire fences in a bid for freedom before its capture.
This die-cast model features brand-new tooling, making it lighter than previous Corgi motorcycle models while revealing impressive internal structure details. Collectors will appreciate the intricate wiring and piping that enhance its authenticity. True to the film, the replica doesn’t have a kickstand; instead, it rests atop an ammunition box, adding a unique touch to this weathered war-time design. Whether you’re a film buff or a motorcycle enthusiast, this collectible is a must-have tribute to a legendary cinematic moment!
