Here we are delighted to offer the rare opportunity to acquire this stunning Triumph Rickman Metisse, a motorcycle forever associated with the legendary Steve McQueen and the golden era of off-road racing.

Our example is accompanied by excellent provenance, including a letter from the Triumph Owners’ Club confirming that the bike was built using a Triumph Tiger 650 and recording its date of manufacture as 7th July 1966. We also have documentation from Mr Gerry Lisi confirming the motorcycle as a genuine Metisse Steve McQueen Desert Racer.

The bike is showing just one former keeper on the V5C and was officially road registered in September 2014.

With its genuine Metisse provenance, fascinating history and unmistakable Steve McQueen association, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly iconic piece of British motorcycle history.

"Metisse started in 1959, and still build off-road machines today. It was half a century ago that Don & Derek Rickman developed a strong, light, elegant chassis for 500cc scrambling which, when fitted with either a Triumph twin or AMC single, out-handled all their contemporary rivals. Metisse manufactured thousands of frame kits; the same product upon which the brothers were winning at international level. It is perhaps no surprise that they attracted dozens of well-known customers, amongst them Steve McQueen, who purchased several examples into which were slotted 650cc Triumph engines that – to his personal requirement – he and Bud Ekins then modified slightly for Desert Racing."
