Senna's Esprit?

[yardelli]

Anybody know if Ayrton Senna got a 'company' Esprit during his time at Lotus ('85-'87?)
If so ..........details/photos of him driving one etc?......

I don't remember Senna ever driving an Esprit during his Lotus days. He did however test an Excel for a German motoring magazine.

Back in '86 I was at an F1 tyre test at Brands Hatch. At the end of the day Senna drove past us to leave and he was driving a Mercedes 500 Coupe.

I've got a brochure about Senna life, picked it up at a tribute event for him. I'm sure it listed his main roadcars. I'll try and dig it out.

I'd be interested to see that, I've seen an ex Senna Merc for sale and I met a chap once who bought his NSX. One careful owner!
