This rare original Stand 21 nomex suit shows very good signs of use. It is a unique uniform – one of the few made with a white collar / neck area for the 1987 season. Ayrton can be seen wearing this exact suit on the podium at Suzuka where he finished 2nd place, and then again at Adelaide where he also finished 2nd, but was later disqualified due to the ‘illegal brake ducts’ in his Lotus 99T.

The post 1986 Ayrton Senna Lotus race suit appeared first on Collector Studio - Fine Automotive Memorabilia.

This amazing original Bell helmet was first worn by Ayrton during the 1985 season at the South African GP at Kyalami, and the Australian GP at Adelaide, both while driving the Lotus 97T. It was then revised and used in both post-season and pre-season testing, and taken throughout the 1986 year for use as a spare, up to the British GP. At Brands Hatch, it was boldly signed by Senna in black sharpie on rear left side, and gifted to the recipient who kept it in his possession until now. This is rare as most helmets are autographed on the visor, or combined with a signed visor.

• This comes with a letter from the original recipient who worked with Senna and received it directly in 1986 at Brands Hatch. It will of course also come with our lifetime certificate of authenticity.

Very expensive, serious enquiries only.  (ASD23)

The post 1988 Monaco GP original poster appeared first on Collector Studio - Fine Automotive Memorabilia.

This amazing original Bell helmet was worn by Ayrton at the 1987 Belgian GP at Spa and other races in the Lotus 99T. It shows great signs of wear inside and out, and there are several race photos you can match it to, specifically the drink hole and the left side clip. The helmet was painted by SID in period, and is accompanied by a letter from the original recipient whom Senna gifted it to personally, and who has owned it up until we purchased it. There are even photos of the previous owner with Senna at the time he received it! The documentation is fantastic.

Ayrton only had around 5 or 6 helmets in 1987, this is the first original one from that year we have ever seen or handled…and no one has bought and sold more authentic Senna gear than we have.

• It will of course come with our lifetime certificate of authenticity.
