If you open up the page in Google Chrome it will offer to translate the page into English for you.

If you go to page one of the thread there is a post about 2/3rds of the way down that part of it says the following;

You're right about being ambitious, ambition can be achieved only with a lot. That's why I put the name of Ayrton Senna to the project, not only by how good he was on his own, was thin, fast, safe ... But the guy exuded a confidence unusual. I remember as a kid and watched him run, was among the few who knew that "was always," was like the first one was 12, as soon as you put the batteries back and knew I could get ahead, that few people can do .

So despite the pidgeon English he explains he's called the project Ayrton Senna' as it's ambitious as Ayrton was.

So no Senna didn't own a TVR.

I think it was orange when I sold it to him, but of course in those days he called himself Ayrton da Silva. He never liked the colour so painted it red. When he drove for Lotus they didn,t like him driving a TVR so he pushed it in the garage and bought a Lotus Cortina. Eventually he met Nigel Mansell who loved the TVR so much he became a TVR dealer and even raced a Tuscan in the TVR Tuscan Challenge with little success. The rest is history

How many years before the elusive Senna/Mansell Grantura is sought by collectors? Genuine provenance provided here by a mark expert

There's probably someone, somewhere in the world right now, translating this thread into their local lingo using Google Chrome and getting all excited about this historic fact.

For a while, but it kept breaking down, so he gave it to a German kid who had no problems with it at all.
