Triumph Bonneville T100
Shines in Bob Dylan Biopic A COMPLETE UNKNOWN
The iconic 1964 Triumph Bonneville T100 plays a starring role in James Mangold’s latest film, A COMPLETE UNKNOWN, which explores the transformative early years of Bob Dylan’s career. Starring Timothée Chalamet as the young Dylan, the film debuts in U.S. and Canadian theaters on December 25.
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. Known for its striking design and powerful performance, the Bonneville T100 embodies the bold energy and creative spirit of the era.
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.”
About A COMPLETE UNKNOWN
Directed by James Mangold (Walk the Line, Ford v Ferrari), the film delves into Dylan’s relationships with key figures like Joan Baez and Woody Guthrie, and his rise to cultural icon status. With richly detailed period settings, live musical performances by Chalamet, and a climactic recreation of Dylan’s groundbreaking performance at the Newport Folk Festival, A COMPLETE UNKNOWN goes beyond the typical biopic.
The film also stars Elle Fanning, Monica Barbaro, and Edward Norton, and has already been nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture – Drama.
The Modern Bonneville T100: Classic Legacy, Modern Performance

Equipped with a 900cc high-torque engine, advanced technology like ABS and traction control, and ergonomic comfort, the T100 remains a timeless legend reimagined for the present.
