Huh should be interesting to see what it goes for. Its to bad it is just a basic NSX and not a more rare model. You see this at a lot of the collector car auctions and usually these cars go for slightly more than the blue book due to the celebrity link but its still just a used NSX.

I was looking to buy an NSX a while back. another car claimed to be Senna's also came up. Supposedly it has Senna's dusty shoes print.

I saw the other car for sale 4-5 months ago. Finding stock NSX is rare and the way to go if you want an investment car; which the NSX appears to be like more & more each year. Not to mention if you get a statement of ownership from Senna's foundation and/or family.

True but him owning a car only goes so far. If it was one of the prototypes or test cars Honda had him drive that in turn ended up shaping what the car would be that is far more historic. That NSX prime thread is funny. Why is the car historic? It probably just drove around town and that was it. Nothing historic about it other than the butt that sat in the seat a few times and by that logic his old toilet must be worth millions. I like a nice clean NSX as much as the next person but people tend to grossly over value a celebrity tie in. I would much rather have a helmet or a part of an Indy car or something actually tied to his racing. I would also much rather have a Type R or other extremely limited edition of the car.

After seeing how the great Senna could tear the potential out of the NSX... would you want his daily driver?

I saw a similar NSX go for the low $30,000's a couple years ago, wonder what the asking price is on this one, guessing over double that? I'm with Manga, I'd much rather have a newer (2005 maybe) Type R NSX than a base model owned by a former racer/celebrity.
