This McLaren is a highly significant Formula One car from the modern era, having been driven by Ayrton Senna to pole position and victory at the 1991 Hungarian Grand Prix. It represents Senna’s mastery at the height of his powers, combining technical excellence with one of the most celebrated performances of his career.

In addition to its landmark victory in Hungary, this chassis was also driven by Senna to pole position at the Belgian Grand Prix and a second-place finish at the Portuguese Grand Prix during the same season. These results further underline the car’s importance within McLaren’s competitive history and its direct association with Senna across multiple top-level Grand Prix performances.

Retained by McLaren Racing Limited until 2020, the car was subsequently sold by the factory, with McLaren agreeing as part of the sale to undertake a comprehensive, total restoration prior to delivery to the new owner. Completed by the original constructor, this work ensures the car remains presented and prepared to exacting factory standards. It is preserved today as a complete and running example, benefiting from an exceptional continuity of care.

Technically, the car occupies a unique position in Formula One history. It is the final V12-powered, manual-gearbox McLaren, and the last Formula One World Championship-winning model of its type, marking the end of a mechanical era before the sport’s transition to more automated transmissions and different engine configurations.

Today, it stands as one of very few Ayrton Senna Grand Prix-winning McLaren chassis in private circulation, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a car that combines unquestionable provenance, landmark technical significance, and a direct connection to one of the greatest drivers in motorsport history.
