F1 legend Ayrton Senna’s rare car has gone up for sale on Auto Trader for a whopping £500,000.

The former three-time world champion is recognised as one of the greatest sportsmen of all time after an era of domination in the late 1980s and 90s.

Senna tragically died during the San Marino Grand Prix in May 1994 and almost 30 years on from his passing, his car has been made available to fans.

The Brazilian’s Honda NSX, which has 39,100 miles on the clock, is up for sale and is advertised on UK auto marketplace Auto Trader for half a million pounds.

The owner of the car is Robert McFagan from East Sussex but it appears he is ready to cash in on the iconic motor.

Senna stored the car at his home in Portugal, having access to it whenever he was in the country.

The motor also appeared in the movie ‘Racing is in my Blood’ which saw Senna perform a wheel spin in it.

Current owner McFagan said: “I first bought the car in 2013 during a trip to the Algarve in Portugal and have owned it ever since where it has sat proudly at my estate in East Sussex.

“Senna’s red NSX was given to him by Honda who he had a commercial partnership with and Senna frequently used and was photographed with the car during his stays in Portugal.

“Being a huge Senna fan myself, I was delighted when I was able to get my hands on the NSX which was crafted to perfection and features a sleek and powerful machine to give an incredible experience on the road.

Erin Baker, the editorial director at Auto Trader added: “As the UK’s largest automotive marketplace for used and new cars we sell c.450,000 vehicles every day of different sizes, styles and price points and we often see cars once owned from celebrities to royalty being listed on our site.

“Senna’s impact on Formula 1 and the world of motorsport was immeasurable and Senna’s iconic Honda NSX is a chance to own a rare piece of sporting history which will no doubt turn heads and spark conversations amongst friends, family and neighbours.”
