The owner of Caffeine and Machine did, I had to explain to several others.

The owner has a Senna sculpture/model on show in the bar. Looks to be about half life size.

Going to go again in November on the Thursday before the NEC show.

Just have to find the £39k needed to bring Ayrton home! A November NSX meet at CM there’s a thought....

they have rooms at sensible prices for those coming from distance, I think it would be a great venue for a meeting

of course Stratford Upon Avon is very near giving other options for a short break

Is that the bronze of Senna in driving position?

If it is, the sculptor offers a desk top version and has the original full size on display at the MTC

its designed to show him going the Eau Rouge ...

Yes I believe it is the bronze you refer to, very impressive item. They tend to rotate items on display at C&M.

I was there the other day and Phil mentioned you...he was talking about the rarity of -R's in the UK.
