I am trying to get hold of a high quality picture of the image below so that I can have it printed as a poster. I have Google Imaged it but there is nothing of any decent quality. Anyone have any ideas or no of a place that may have it as a poster already? It's McQueen competing in the 1964 International 6 Day Trials Event.

You could always take the biggest resolution you can find and have it printed full-res (whatever size that might be) in high quality. Then take that print and scan it at an incredibly high DPI (in the thousands).

It might not be great, but it might be the best you can find.

Thanks for that Waffles. The second pic isn't actually Steve though ;)

Ironically that book came with a poster of the pic I want but it's not in print any more and a second hand copy on Amazon will cost over a hundred bucks. Not paying that just to get a poster.

Steve McQueen: THE Original Badass

Indeed! If you were to look up the word 'Cool' in the dictionary there would be no description, simply a picture of McQueen. It would probably be something like this:
