TAG Heuer Triumph Bonneville Special Appeases Steve McQueen, Retro Wristwatch Fans

Unlike the iconic leading man who passed away in 1980, the nostalgia for all things Steve McQueen just won't quit. The latest McQueen-inspired toy is a one-off blue and orange Triumph Bonneville inspired by the actor/racer's Porsche in the film Le Mans, as well as the fact that the leading man wore a TAG Heuer Monaco in the movie. Unveiled by '08 Formula One world champ (and TAG Heuer brand ambassador) Lewis Hamilton, the bike will be used for promotional purposes.

Is there a possibility the TAG-edition Bonneville become commercially available, a la the 50th Anniversary Triumph of which only 650 were made? I've dropped a line to Triumph, and haven't yet heard back... but until then, if you're a Bonneville fan (or a Triumph junkie in general), I encourage you to vote for our long term Triumph tester if you haven't already; the running is extremely tight, and voting will be closing soon!
