Following are vehicle highlights corroborated by its extensive accompanying paperwork: The car was originally put into service on November 11, 1987. Unable to register the car in his own name due to legal restrictions surrounding foreign nationals, it was plated and housed by Senna’s close friend and long-time supporter, Antonio Carlos de Almeida Braga (“Braguinha”).
Following Signor Braga’s stewardship, the car was modified with wider “Turbo-style” rear fenders, yellow paint, and a spoiler. In a full-circle turn of events, the car has since undergone a painstaking process of reverting to its original specifications under the direction of “Love My Car” in Amares, Portugal, between June and December 2024. The process involved partial disassembly and the fitment of new, original-spec fenders (front and rear) rocker panels, bonnet, and bumpers. The body was stripped to bare metal in preparation for a fresh coat of the original Silver Metallic (paint code L980). The detail-oriented restoration adhered to Porsche assembly manual standards throughout. Even the rubber seals were replaced with OEM parts.
Senna’s signature remains on the back of the driver’s seat, and the documentation that accompanies the car tells its complete and remarkable story. In addition, the vehicle appears after the credits in the 2010 Netflix documentary Senna. Chassis WP0ZZZ91ZJS150318 is a truly special 911 with unmatched ownership provenance. It will now change hands to its next passionate owner.
