Lotus-Renault 97T - Ayrton Senna - 1985 Grand Prix winner - Minichamps 1/18

Stunning Minichamps model of the beguiling 1985 Lotus 97T driven so impressively by the legendary Ayrton Senna. This car gave Senna his first F1 victory at a very wet Portuguese Grand Prix.

Powered by the Turbocharged 1.5litre Renault EF15B engine, it was very competitive and scored 8 poles and 3 victories.

Most probably one of the best looking Lotus, particularly suiting the beautiful JPS livery -  it was eye-catching! This model has been upgraded with full JPS livery (not available standard) which lifts this Minichamps model above the ordinary.

Part of the Ayrton Senna Racing Collection, it forms an essential part of any collection for Senna or Lotus fans.

In mint condition and supplied in a clear plastic display case also excellent.

From my private collection with more special models to follow.
