Lot Title:
Race-Used Ayrton Senna McLaren MP4/5 Windscreen – Monaco Grand Prix 1989 – TAG Heuer Livery – With Neil Trundle Provenance

Description:
An exceptional and highly evocative piece of Formula 1 history, this original race-used windscreen comes from the McLaren MP4/5 driven by Ayrton Senna during the legendary 1989 Monaco Grand Prix weekend—one of the most iconic circuits and defining races in motorsport.

The windscreen, bearing the period-correct TAG Heuer branding, was used by Senna en route to a dominant performance, securing pole position and victory at Monaco—further cementing his mastery of the principality’s streets. Constructed from clear Perspex with its original black lower trim, the piece exhibits authentic race wear, including light scratches, surface marks, and patina consistent with period use, enhancing both its authenticity and display appeal.

This example represents a “medium length” configuration, consistent with Monaco specifications, where aerodynamic and visibility adjustments were critical for the tight, technical circuit. The shape, mounting points, and trim details align with known MP4/5 race components from the era.

Provenance:
Accompanied by a signed letter of authenticity from Neil Trundle, Chief Mechanic to Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost at McLaren during this period. The letter confirms:

• Use by Ayrton Senna in the 1989 Monaco Grand Prix (MP4/5)

• Standard post-race removal and retention practices by team mechanics

• Period-correct characteristics and configuration of the windscreen

Such direct team-issued provenance from a senior McLaren figure of this stature is exceptionally rare and significantly elevates the importance and collectability of the piece.

Condition:

• Original race-used condition

• Visible wear including scratches, minor scuffs, and aging to decals

• Missing upper rubber trim (not uncommon due to period reuse practices, as noted in the letter)

• Structurally sound and well-presented on a custom display mount

Display:
Mounted on a bespoke wooden plinth with descriptive plaque, accompanied by the original certificate and period reference imagery—ready for immediate exhibition in a private collection, gallery, or museum setting.

Significance:
Artifacts directly linked to Ayrton Senna—particularly from Monaco, where he earned the title “King of Monaco”—are among the most coveted in Formula 1 collecting. Components from the dominant McLaren-Honda era (1988–1991) are especially rare, with very few surviving outside institutional or team archives.

GIANNI MORBIDELLI
Original Test Helmet
Ferrari Formula One Testing, circa 1990
Nolan • Signed Dedication

A rare and visually iconic original helmet worn by Gianni Morbidelli during his early Formula One testing period with Scuderia Ferrari, dating to circa 1990—an important moment marking his entry into the pinnacle of motorsport with one of its most legendary teams.

The helmet features a classic and highly recognizable Italian design, finished in white with bold blue crown and red accents, complemented by green side panels—echoing the Italian tricolore. Prominent Marlboro branding reflects Ferrari’s title sponsorship era, making this piece instantly evocative of late-1980s/early-1990s Formula One.

Manufactured by Nolan, the helmet retains its original configuration, including visor assembly and interior padding. The interior remains clean and well-preserved, while the exterior shows light, honest signs of use consistent with track activity.

Of particular note is the hand-written dedication on the rear:
“A Gilles con amicizia” (“To Gilles, with friendship”), accompanied by Morbidelli’s signature—adding a personal and collectible dimension to the piece.

Gianni Morbidelli, son of Ferrari chief engineer Giancarlo Morbidelli, was closely tied to the Ferrari environment from an early stage. His test work for Ferrari led to his eventual Formula One career, including podium success and a respected reputation within the sport.

Helmets from Ferrari test programs are exceptionally scarce, especially from this transitional era, and seldom appear on the market—particularly with period-correct Marlboro livery and personal inscriptions.

A highly desirable early-career artifact from a Ferrari-affiliated driver, combining striking period aesthetics, authentic use, and personal provenance.
