Senna’s 1993 McLaren sells for 4.19m euros in Monaco

MONTE CARLO: A 1993 McLaren Formula One car raced by the late Brazilian world champion Ayrton Senna has sold for 4.19 million euros at an auction in Monaco. Auctioneers Bonhams did not reveal who bought the Ford Cosworth-powered MP4/8A car, with the 4,197,500 euro price including the buyer’s premium, but said it went after a “lengthy and spirited bidding exchange.” Media reports said former Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone, who was in Monaco, had bought it but he said that was not the case. The McLaren was the last Formula One car raced around the street circuit by the triple champion, who died at Italy’s Imola circuit in a Williams in May 1994, and took Senna to his record sixth win in the principality.
