A rare sports car once owned by F1 legend Ayrton Senna has gone up for sale for a whopping £500,000.

Senna raced in Formula One between 1984 and and 1994, winning three world championships with McLaren in 1988, 1990 and 1991.

The Honda NSX, of which only a handful of models are currently in existence, goes up for sale nearly 30 years after Senna tragically lost his life at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix at the Imola Circuit.

 

The car, which has 39,100 miles on the clock, is available to buy on UK auto marketplace Auto Trader.

The current owner of the car is Robert McFagan from East Sussex.
