God's Footprint: Ayrton Senna's 1993 Honda NSX

This 1993 Honda NSX (chassis T000999) is claimed by the seller to be one of three that were regularly used by F1 legend Ayrton Senna. The seller says that this is the one that was gifted to him by his personal mentor and sponsor Antonio de Almeida Braga that was kept in a palace near Estoril. The seller says that it has 31k original miles, is unmodified, and that he still has the factory carpet with Senna's footprint still showing! Find it here on eBay in Albufeira, Portugal. Special thanks to BaT reader Richard S. for this submission!

Years ago I was invited by the Lancer Turbo Register (now the Mitsubishi Lancer Register) to RAF Kemble to watch a bit of TopGear filming. It was Tiffany Dell and Quentin Wilson (remember him?) testing an Evo 3, a Subaru Impreza and a red Honda NSX. IIRC, it was a 5-10k, 10-15k and 15-20k sports car shoot out. The Evo won it and it was supposed to be the cheapest of the 3. The NSX was the car Senna used when he was in the UK and IIRC it was kept at the Honda factory in Swindon. I reckon it would be worth a mint nowadays. I wonder if it still around in a warehouse somewhere.

IIRC, Poirot was from Belgium so he's ok. I quite like the Belgians because they aren't french.

It does, but he does make the effort to speak English even though he still has that ridiculous accent.
