    Default (One of) Senna's NSX(s) for sale: £80k

    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 £39,000

    Senna 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.
    So it was a car that Senna might have driven not owned

    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.

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