The Toleman Ayrton Senna made his F1 debut in is going up for auction this month
The Toleman Formula 1 car that Ayrton Senna drove in his first race will be auctioned later this month and is expected to fetch a significant seven-figure sum.
Senna’s F1 career started in 1984 with Toleman, a team that debuted in F1 three years prior and eventually evolved into the current Alpine team.
Although Toleman was not a strong competitor in F1, it gained historical relevance by giving Senna his debut in 1984, where he achieved his first podium at the Monaco Grand Prix.
Senna scored his first F1 points in South Africa and Belgium that year, securing three podium finishes in total, before moving to Lotus for the 1985 season.
The Toleman TG183B, the car in which Senna started his F1 career, will be auctioned with an estimated value of €2.8m-€3.8m in Monaco on 25 April, alongside other notable F1 racers like the 1991 Ferrari 642, the 1978 Ferrari 312 T3, the 1979 Fittipaldi F6/A, and the 2003 Jordan EJ13 show car.
These F1 cars are expected to fetch impressive sums ranging from €100,000 to €5.5m in the upcoming auction.
