Here's a link to an interesting site about Steve McQueen's interest in dirt bikes and desert racing;
It includes an article he wrote for American magazine 'Popular Science' in which he tests a variety of bikes, one of which happens to be a Greeves Challenger! (see attached pic.)
I've also attached a pic of him taken during a visit to Comerfords sometime in the early sixties (I think!) Comerfords were of course a major UK dealer for Greeves and other marques, and renowned off-road competition specialists back in the day. They were based at Thames Ditton in Surrey, where my own TCS was originally sold from as it happens.
Hope everyone enjoys the link and article by SMcQ.
