This is one of three Honda NSX models owned by the revered F1 driver that is currently owned by Robert McFagan, who resides in East Sussex, England. However, whereas a car with a history of this calibre is usually sold on auction, McFagan decided to sell it through a used-car selling platform.
Said McFagan, who bought the car in 2013 when on a trip to the Algarve in Portugal, “Being a huge Senna fan myself, I was delighted when I was able to get my hands on the NSX … It’s been a real pleasure owning what is one of the most famous cars belonging to a true sporting legend and the thrill of driving Senna’s car never goes away.”

Dressed in vibrant red, this Senna-owned NSX once resided at the F1 legend’s Portuguese residence. There are several pictures, including one of Senna washing the car, to prove its significance (that it was, indeed, owned by the Brazilian F1 champion, who claimed 41 race wins during his tenure at McLaren F1 from the late 1980s to early 1990s before his tragic passing in 1994 at the Imola ciruit).
