Ayrton Senna / Lotus 99T
Race-Used Rear O.Z. Rim Table, 1987 Formula One Season

A singular and historically resonant motorsport artifact, this sculptural table is fashioned from an original rear O.Z. Racing wheel rim used by Ayrton Senna on the Lotus 99T during the 1987 Formula One World Championship season—a pivotal year that marked Senna’s final campaign with Team Lotus and his emergence as one of the sport’s most electrifying talents.

Executed in the unmistakable black-and-gold livery of John Player Team Lotus, the rim retains its period-correct O.Z. Racing branding and authentic race patina. Most notably, it is hand-signed and dated in white marker by Ayrton Senna, directly on the rim surface—an exceptionally rare characteristic, particularly for race-used Lotus components. The autograph remains bold and legible, exhibiting strong, unmistakable traits consistent with Senna’s hand during the late 1980s.

The rim has been elevated into a one-of-one functional artwork, mounted on a bespoke black pedestal stand designed to complement—never compete with—the artifact itself. The presentation is completed with a discreet integrated plaque and accompanying original Lotus Certificate of Authenticity, confirming the rim’s race use and Senna association. The transformation respects the integrity of the original object, preserving its provenance while granting it a new sculptural presence.

Historical Significance

The Lotus 99T represents a crucial chapter in Senna’s career: a technically innovative machine powered by Honda, and the car in which Senna achieved multiple victories in 1987. Race-used rear rims from this period are inherently scarce; examples signed by Senna and preserved with factory-issued authentication are virtually unobtainable.

Rarity

This piece stands at the apex of Formula One memorabilia. Signed race-used Lotus components from Senna’s pre-McLaren years are significantly rarer than later examples, and rear rims—subjected to extreme stress and typically discarded—were seldom retained. The conversion into a table renders this example entirely unique: a true 1-of-1 object, with no comparable counterpart known.

Craftsmanship

The bespoke stand has been executed with curatorial restraint, allowing the rim’s form, signature, and historic markings to remain the focal point. The balance between industrial precision and gallery-level presentation reflects a high level of craftsmanship, transforming an engineering component into a refined collectible suitable for the most discerning private collections.

An irreplaceable tribute to Ayrton Senna’s Lotus era—where raw speed, innovation, and legacy converge in a single, definitive object.

A Pair of OMP Karting Gloves, São Paulo Kart Event
Race-used, signed and dated

This compelling pair of OMP karting gloves was used by Ayrton Senna during a karting event in São Paulo, offering a rare glimpse into the discipline that formed the foundation of his legendary career. Karting held deep personal significance for Senna, who frequently returned to it even at the height of his Formula One success.

The gloves are executed in blue and white, consistent with period OMP designs, and display clear and honest signs of use, including visible wear, surface soiling, and creasing to the palms and fingers—authentic characteristics consistent with competitive karting activity.

Both gloves are hand-signed by Ayrton Senna in marker and individually dated, with the signatures remaining clearly legible against the blue fabric. Inside each glove, written in blue marker, is the personal inscription:

“Karting São Paulo – Senna – 1991 – place”

This highly evocative internal inscription directly links the gloves to a specific karting event and victory in São Paulo, adding exceptional documentary and historical significance. Such inscriptions, written by the driver himself, are exceedingly rare and elevate the gloves beyond standard signed memorabilia.

Karting artifacts associated with Senna are especially coveted, as they represent the purest expression of his driving philosophy and lifelong passion for the sport. This pair stands as an intimate and museum-worthy testament to Senna’s competitive spirit and enduring connection to his roots.

Goodyear Eagle Race-Used Slick Tyre — 1993 Brazilian Grand PrixDriven by Ayrton Senna aboard the Marlboro McLaren Honda MP4/8Hand Signed & Accompanied by McLaren International Certificate of Authenticity

An artefact of profound historical and emotional significance, this full-size Goodyear Eagle slick tyre was fitted to the Marlboro McLaren Honda MP4/8 and used in competition by Ayrton Senna at the 1993 Brazilian Grand Prix — the opening round of the Formula One World Championship season, held at the Autodromo José Carlos Pace, Interlagos, São Paulo.

The Tyre

A full-dimension F1 slick, the tyre retains its authentic race-worn condition — the rubber surface bearing the telltale heat cycling and wear marks consistent with Grand Prix competition use. The iconic GOODYEAR EAGLE lettering in bold yellow stands proud across the sidewall, with original team markings and compound identifiers still visible.

Signed directly onto the tyre in white marker, Senna's signature is accompanied by the year "93" and the inscription "Brazil" — a deeply personal dedication to his home race, in front of his beloved Brazilian fans, on a day that would etch itself permanently into Formula One folklore.

The Car — Marlboro McLaren Honda MP4/8

The McLaren MP4/8 was a highly competitive yet ultimately transitional machine. Designed by Neil Oatley and powered by a Ford HB V8 engine — a switch from the dominant Honda unit of prior seasons — the car represented McLaren's first season without Honda power since 1982. Despite this, the MP4/8 proved a formidable challenger, and in the hands of Senna, it remained a race-winning proposition throughout the year.

The Race — 1993 Brazilian Grand Prix, Interlagos

The 1993 Brazilian Grand Prix was one of the most dramatic and emotionally charged races of the entire decade. Senna — racing in front of his home crowd — delivered a masterclass of wet-weather driving and sheer determination, winning the race despite suffering from severe arm and wrist cramps in the closing laps due to a stuck sixth gear that forced him to steer one-handed through the final circuits.

At the finish line, Senna was so physically exhausted he had to be lifted from the cockpit by his mechanics. His subsequent victory celebration — barely able to stand, arms raised to the sky — remains one of the most iconic and moving images in the sport's history. It was his first win of the season and his first Brazilian Grand Prix victory, meaning everything to both him and the nation.

The race was also notable for the emergence of a young Michael Schumacher, then driving for Benetton, who finished third — a glimpse of the generational rivalry that was already beginning to define the era.

Certificate of Authenticity

Presented in a white mount frame, the McLaren International Certificate of Authenticity — signed by Ron Dennis, Managing Director — formally certifies the component as follows:

• Component: Goodyear Eagle Tyre
• Car: Marlboro McLaren Honda MP4/8
• Driver: Ayrton Senna
• Race: Grand Prix Brazil 1993

A once-in-a-generation collectors' piece. Race-used, personally signed, factory-certified, and tied to one of the most emotionally defining moments in the life of the greatest driver in Formula One history — offered here in its original, unaltered condition.

Ayrton Senna – 1992 Season Overview
The 1992 season was a challenging yet pivotal year in Ayrton Senna’s career. Driving the McLaren MP4/7A powered by Honda, Senna faced fierce competition from the dominant Williams-Renault team, particularly Nigel Mansell. Despite being in a technically inferior car, Senna showcased his brilliance, securing three Grand Prix victories (Monaco, Hungary, and Italy) and finishing fourth in the Drivers’ Championship. His performance, tenacity, and technical feedback played a critical role in keeping McLaren competitive during a transitional period for the team. The season also marked Senna’s final year with Honda engines before their exit from Formula 1.

An exceptionally rare and historically significant piece.
This unique wind tunnel model head was mounted on the aerodynamic test model used during the development of the McLaren MP4/7—a car that marked a technological leap forward for McLaren.

The MP4/7A was McLaren’s first car to incorporate semi-automatic transmission and explore active suspension technology, setting the stage for fierce competition with the groundbreaking Williams FW14B.

What elevates this piece beyond its engineering significance is its personal connection to legend: it has been hand-signed and dated by Ayrton Senna in bold black marker, making it an extraordinary collector’s item from one of F1’s most iconic eras.
