Senna Toleman - What would you pay?
I receive some emails from the other side of the pond offering up collectables from time to time as I am sure many of you do.
One that I was surprised to see was Senna's 1984 Toleman that he raced at Monaco in the rain and if it wasn't for the red flag would have won at the pace he was catching Prost.
What value would this car actually be worth? I know what the asking price was but wondering what or where I could get an educated price.
channeling your inner Senna.......Toleman-Hart
an iconic desired vehicle of no interest to BILLIONS of people
racers live in a tiny world
although twenty grand is my limit....
i did just buy a lotto ticket

Is it really what it says on the label?
I have bought many race cars including three F1's
I always have a quiet laugh or smile about the provenance of these so called famous cars.
Consider this, some of these cars are 40 years old and have been through many owners, has the car had a replacement tub? (even in racing period), has the team in period changed the tub and swapped the chassis plate? (a common practice). When an F1 car I made, they make several tubs and components, it is not unknown for a complete car to be made from these parts.
If you decide to race such a car do you use existing 40+ years old wishbones etc?
I would tend to believe provenance or history if the car was owned from the end of its active season by someone like The Pope or someone of similar standing.
I can't comment on this particular car but the years (in the UK) I have been aware of two or three alleged Senna Tolman's available for sale.
Buyer Beware!
