Aryton Senna's Formula 1 car sculpture to go under the hammer as an 'Artfix kit'

Tweet Share	Aryton Senna was a legendary Formula 1 driver who is widely regarded as the greatest driver to have ever lived. The news of a sculpture of his car being auctioned as a piece of art is going to send petrol heads across th
world on a piggy bank breaking spree

In 1992 Aryton Senna’s Formula 1 car was dismantled and given to artist Jay Burridge to make a sculpture out of it. The car in question is the McLaren MP4/6 from Senna’s last season as World Champion. The massive Artfix sculpture was unvield to the public on July 16^th in Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire. The International Car auctioneers COYS is going to sell Burridge’s sculpture at their Nurburgring sale in Germany on the 13th of August this year.

Aryton Senna’s former manager, Dennis Rushen will be present at the auction. Rushen who was the team manager in Senna’s formative years said, “I was really impressed with the Senna sculpture. Such a clever idea and it really stands out as something really different. Often at race meetings Senna would fly his radio controlled helicopter. He was really into models and he would have appreciated the concept.”

The sculpture is expected to be sold for somewhere between 22,00,000 INR and 36,00,000 INR So, if you are a petrol head and have the money liquify your investments and rush to Germany and if you don’t have the money the option of selling your soul to the devil is always open.
