I would be doing some digging as to what is meant by "owned". k off.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?
