Plausible story, but no actual sign of any Senna provenance in the advert: http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C400296
Perhaps there's a pair of black loafers and white socks in the glove box?

Would rather import an NA1 NSX-R from Japan that pay for that. Personally for me, the previous owner/owners of a car isn't an incentive for me to buy. I've had a couple of cars with famous owner history, but never stated that in the adds lol.
A real die hard Senna fan might be interested?

In the vintage guitar market, it makes a LOT of difference. And if the car had actually won something with Senna at the wheel, then maybe.
But what do I know? I got all excited when Felicity Kendall's old Mercedes 190 came onto the market a few years ago... :o
Not just vintage guitars. I owned a 1997 Black and Ivory Gibson Les Paul Standard borrowed by a major Britpop star. He then used a silver pen to sign and write on the back of the guitar what songs/album he had used it on, wrote and signed a letter detailing its provenance. Given that the guitar probably cost £1200 in 1997 and might (in its original state) be worth £2000........It was sold in 2010 for £39,000Originally Posted by goldtop

So it was a car that Senna might have driven not ownedSenna had a residence in Algarve while the Formula 1 was in Europe, therefore Honda Motor Co. had this car for his disposable during all season.

Nurburgring lap time 8:38 - Honda NSX (sport auto, 08/97)
Call me crazy, but i'm interested. I would like to see genuine demonstration of provenance though; it talks about Honda had it ready for him, suggesting he never owned it and therefore is not on the log book... i'll enquire.

Hi,
That NSX was owned by Senna.... it's title still has "Ayrton Senna da Silva" written on it...

We stayed in Quinta do Lago on the Algarve a year or 3 ago - Senna had a house here and they have named a very nice road after him:

It's the Honda NSX."

...I know that feeling too I bought a Mazda MX5 simply because the previous owner was Carol Decker from Tpau!

It's a bit surprising that the seller didn't mention that in the advert. It's mode specific than the other stuff he talks about.
