"If you think you have a limit, as soon as you touch this limit, something happens, then you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct and your experience as well, you can fly very high." - Ayrton Senna Senna is considered one of F1's greatest drivers of all time.
Winning three Championships during his rich career, claiming incredible victories and stealing the hearts of millions, his memory lives on throughout the entire motorsport community to this day.
This incredibly rare opportunity has arisen for one collector to become the owner of this rare helmet. An authentic reproduction of the one he wore for the 1994 F1 season - his final year in the sport as he tragically lost his life at the San Marino Grand Prix - this helmet is a beautiful tribute to the Brazilian legend.
Signed by Senna himself, this helmet is among the rarest pieces of F1 heritage.
A Memory That Lives On
Senna's story is a heroic one; joining the grid in 1984 and racing for Toleman, Lotus and McLaren, he went on to claim three Titles (with the latter).
Known for his competitive nature and raw driving talent, it became clear than racing very much was in his nature. After claiming three Championships with McLaren, Senna wanted to take on new challenges.
Moving to Williams in 1994, his ambitions for his career with the British team were tragically cut short as Senna would lose his life on 1st May in Imola. The Grand Prix goes down in history as one of the most tragic weekends in sport, with Senna and Ratzenberger both losing their lives at the track over the two days.
30 years on from that fateful weekend and Ayrton Senna remains as legendary as when he was racing. Many young drivers and World Champions have attributed their inspiration and passion to the late Brazilian, with many paying tributes to him through helmet designs over the years.
The 'Senna' name is a symbol of motorsport and is known by all within the community and the wider sporting world. He continues to inspire 30 years on.
A Tribute To Honour

The Auto Bid Extend feature ensures that bidders will always have a chance to challenge bids placed in the final seconds of an auction. When indicated on a listing page, if a bid is placed during the last 5 minutes of an auction, the auction will automatically extend for an additional 5 minutes from the time of the latest bid. The auction will close once all bidding activity has stopped for a period of 5 minutes.
NOTE: Current Bid Amount and Countdown Timer are not "live." Click Refresh to update them or to see if the auction has been automatically extended by a last minute bid.
A straight bid is a one-time amount, that represents the price you are committing to bid. The price that is entered as a straight bid can be any amount that is equal to, or greater than the current amount plus the minimum increment.
This amount will become the new current bid amount of the item (i.e. the item is £100. A straight bid is placed at £200. The item price is now £200).
If there is a maximum bid on the item, the greater of the straight bid and maximum bid will be the highest bid amount.
If a straight bid and a maximum bid are placed at the same value, the bid that is placed earlier will become the winning bid.
This system offers a convenient bidding system option, so you don't have to continuously login to re-bid. When you place a maximum bid, you are entering the highest price you are willing to pay for an item. Your maximum bid is kept confidential until it is exceeded by another bidder.
When a maximum bid is placed, the system will place bids on your behalf at the bid increment amount above the current high bid. The system will bid by the increment to ensure you remain the highest bidder or to meet the reserve price (if applicable), up to your maximum bid amount.
If and only if duplicate maximum bids are entered, the customer who entered the maximum bid first will get priority and will be the winning bidder.
If another bidder places a higher bid above your maximum bid, you will be emailed to login and place another bid.
