Thread: Senna's NSX

  1. Default

    My blog contains all the information of my trip to purchase the red Senna NSX

    A fascinating purchase and a car I would very much like to see...again!

    We were on holiday in Vale Verde (where Senna had a house) and the red car was on display in a local car dealership.

    You mention that there is little physical evidence to tie the black car too Senna - how about yours?

    It's nice to read about a car coming into the UK - most seem to be heading the other way!

    I'm in West Sussex, along with a few other owners, so a trip out to visit you in December should hopefully be possible.

    Vale Verde and Quinta Do Lago run into each other so I am sure that you are correct about Senna's address.

    When I saw the car it was in a Honda dealership on the main road heading west away from Faro airport.

    Just to confirm that you are correct in your assertion that Ayrton was indeed a resident of Quinta do Lago...I took this photo of a street there named in his honour:

    I live in Poole in Dorset and would love to come and see the car if you have an unveiling for a group of enthusiasts

The black one comes with little proof except while I was having lunch which the Father and Son of MS Cars, who owned the red one, they confirmed the black one went through them as they knew Antonio Brage, Senna's best friend. I was to afraid to drive the car when I was there but bought it anyway. I live in East Sussex and if anyone wants to come and see it, you can make an appointment from December onwards. Saves having to fly to Faro which I had to.

    Well done and welcome to our little group. Did it come with any provenance that he did drive it?

    Hi Rob,

    Congratulations on tracking down this NSX and acheiving what must surely be a very special personal goal.

    Welcome to NSXCB and for sharing this news with us all. Like many I look forward to meeting you and this cherished piece of NSX, Ayrton and Honda history.

    You mention that it may not be driven much ... I do hope you get to enjoy driving it occasionally.

    I found your blog very interesting, again thank you for sharing.

    Well done and enjoy your new NSX.

    regards, Paul
