A Period-Perfect Icon

Set in the vibrant Greenwich Village of the 1960s, the film captures the cultural energy of an era defined by folk music, activism, and artistic revolution. A 1964 Bonneville T100 was sourced specifically for the production, embodying the spirit of freedom and individuality that characterized Dylan’s early years.

Triumph’s Chief Commercial Officer, Paul Stroud, remarked:
“The Bonneville T100 is a reflection of the era’s bold energy and creative exploration. Its sleek design and cultural significance make it a seamless addition to the film’s recreation of 1960s Greenwich Village, amplifying the authenticity of Dylan’s world.”
