Hey guys,

Again just checking youtube videos of NSX and it looks like someone recently took Ayrton Senna's personal NSX out for a little drive. I like how the dash has a small sticker of his helmet.

Walkaround of the car.

How do we know that is Senna's NSX, and if it is, why does that guy get to drive it?

LOL... you mean "that guy" as opposed to you?

Nice find Raven... you're quite a little video finder now.
 
Hi,

The 2 videos on the first post were shot in Portugal, Algarve, where this Senna's Red NSX is... if you notice in the second video, the "SX-25-59" is a early 91 portuguese license plate... probably one of the first, if not the first, NSX in Portugal.

Great find. Just saw "Senna" the movie and I STILL get sad every time I see any video related to him.
 
I don't think it's senna's nsx.

The guy was trying to open the trunk to show the engine, doesn't even know the glass is for the engine bay. Also went on saying the clutch is one but the clutch system is different made for senna and that the gear box is also different for senna's specs....I think it bs
 
^ that clutch and gear box are BS... but that IS one of the portuguese NSX Senna had.... his name is on the title until this day (private colection)

I can confirm that this is Ayrton's NSX, I've seen it in person. It was for sale 4 years ago for ~160.000,00 $ in Algarve... and that is the correct plate: "SX-25-59"

You can see it here at 9:27

The license plate is still the old type, black with white numbers, but if you are fast enough stopping the video, you will be able to see the last four numbers of the front plate...
 
I purchased this car a couple of weeks ago, Does anyone have any different pictures of it with Senna in them ?
I have the ones with him cleaning the car, but could do with a few different ones.
thanks
