I have done but don't think he will ever sell it due to the sentimentality attached.

Mind you, I do find it hard to believe that someone would be willing to pay thousands of pounds for it, although I guess it must be quite rare.

As he won't ever sell it, have said he would be better off loaning it to a motor museum as at least people will get to see it then. Think its a bit of a waste, having it just sit there in a bank vault.

Still, his choice I guess.
If there is an interest I am connected with Brooklands and they already have a Senna McLaren in thier F1 collection.

He's in the states at the mo but will certainly mention it to him when he gets back in the new year.
