Great car, no doubt. Owned by a motoring legend, fair enough. Half a million quid, oh do fk off.

I would be doing some digging as to what is meant by "owned". https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202404088...
Was it actually registered in his name (i.e proof of name on logbook), or was he lent the car?
It definitely looks like Ayrton's old car, I remember I used to see him on weekends that he wasn't racing, and there he would be, crouched down with his hose in his hand, he always had that hose of his out, he seemed to like giving things a right good splash, just like in the picture. I remember him saying to me 'i don't bother with all that servicing nonsense, what you want to do with your car is get your hose out and give it a right good splash'.
That advice has always stuck with me and to this day I don't service my cars and they somehow always appreciate in value. That's likely to be because they are always so clean.

A bit more digging in to the NSX suggests it was not "owned" by Senna, but simply lent to him when he visited Portugal. It seems there were numerous NSXs dotted around various countries which he would use when he visited them.
A bit naughty to use the term "owned".
More than a tad duplicitous. Paying a 500% premium for a car owned by Honda, which sometimes had Senna sat in it. A bit naughty to use the term "owned".

I know Shed has upped his budget a couple of times in recent memory, but these are usually available for less than £1k, no?

MAYBE had Senna in sat it,going to be quite difficult to prove he sat in it,let alone drive it.As for being a sly to claim he once owned it,sly ? How about a blatant lie.
Wonder how this would work if sold and the next owner only found out when trying to sell it on ?
I know this was posted a few years back but still up for sale if you can get there in time.

Checking the mot it looks like it might need a good few grand spend on it in a few months.Then again,what's a few grand when it's worth this much.
I think i'd reduce it to £1778 and hope someone would offer me £1500 before the mot runs out.

Re: Honda NSX, last year there was a TV program Bangers: Mad for Cars, in which Tiny Temper hosted a piece on the Honda NSX, less said about it the better.
Part of the program, gathered together some NSX owners, one who owned a LHD NSX, purportedly once having belonged to Senna and valued at £250K.
Seems, there are a lot of them about.

I know Harry’s Garage episode with Clarkson has boosted the values of advertised L322 Range Rover models in the last few months, with plenty chancing their arm, but is this really a £45,000 example of the L322?
The advert even mentions Chris Harris ownership as evidence of “provenance”.
Is it me or is this too expensive? I get the feeling I would be told “find another one” etc..

I'm generally a Citroën fan but that is one ugly car. I know Shed has upped his budget a couple of times in recent memory, but these are usually available for less than £1k, no?

That's lovely but 45k seems a little bit spendy. Maybe if it had 6k miles but 66k... And I'm not sure whether the Chris Harris thing is a reason for a premium.The advert even mentions Chris Harris ownership as evidence of “provenance”.

No idea of the values of those things, that does look like a beauty though The advert even mentions Chris Harris ownership as evidence of “provenance”.
