1991 Ayrton Senna Tribute Ensemble
Replica Rheos Helmet, OMP Gloves, OMP Race Suit & Balaclava
Presented in a Bespoke Chrome & Crystal Collector's Table
A visually striking and highly evocative Ayrton Senna tribute ensemble, faithfully capturing the unmistakable presence of the three-time Formula One World Champion during his dominant McLaren-Honda era of the early 1990s.
This complete display set comprises a period-correct style racing suit, helmet, gloves, and balaclava, presented together to recreate the iconic image of Senna at the height of his career.
The Helmet
At the heart of the ensemble is a Rheos-branded full-face helmet, finished in Senna's legendary livery:
- Vivid canary yellow base
- Signature green and blue banding
- Sponsor detailing including:
- Nacional
- Boss
- Honda
- Rheos
The proportions, striping, and sponsor placement closely mirror those worn by Senna during the 1990–1991 championship seasons, offering an immediately recognizable visual identity synonymous with Formula One's golden era.
The Race Suit
The accompanying OMP race suit is finished in classic McLaren Marlboro red, featuring period sponsor embroidery:
- Marlboro
- Honda
- Shell
- Boss
- Nacional
- TAG Heuer
Additional details include:
- White contrast stitching in correct period pattern
- "Ayrton Senna" script embroidery to the belt
- Brazilian flag insignia
- FIA homologation patch consistent with late-1980s / early-1990s standards
The suit captures the silhouette and branding layout of the suits worn by Senna during his 1991 World Championship-winning season.
Gloves
Completing the set are:
- OMP racing gloves in red with white palm inserts, consistent with early 1990s racewear styling
The Display: Chrome & Crystal Collector's Table
The ensemble is presented in a bespoke low table of mirror-polished chrome and thick crystal, designed to serve as a centrepiece coffee table as much as a showcase. Viewed from above, the full set reads at a glance: helmet, gloves and suit laid out as a driver's kit, sealed beneath a single slab of crystal.
The table:
- Thick, clear crystal top with polished edges, forming a usable table surface over the full display
- Crystal side walls on all four sides, so the pieces are visible from every seat in the room
- Mirror-polished chrome base with a recessed plinth, giving the table a floating appearance
- Polished chrome corner posts and fixings
- Black carbon-weave display bed, setting off the red of the suit and the yellow of the helmet
- Warm perimeter lighting, reflected in the chrome and crystal
The layout:
- Helmet: set upright in its own raised crystal compartment, facing the viewer
- Gloves: laid as a crossed pair in a separate crystal tray beneath the helmet
- Race suit: laid flat across the main bay, chest and sleeve embroidery fully visible, with the "Ayrton Senna" script belt and Brazilian flag along the front edge
Dimensions: approximately 220 cm× 80 cm× 55 cm.
When assembled, the set delivers a near full-scale representation of Ayrton Senna's race-day identity, in a piece of furniture that can be lived with every day.
Condition
- Helmet: Excellent cosmetic condition, with high-quality finish and sponsor application
- Suit: Clean and well-preserved
