New `Heroes` – The Senna Tributes

Written by sflude on June 18th, 2011 Posted in Front Page News, General Jim Bamber News, New products

As motorsport `Heroes` go, few would rate as highly as Ayrton Senna. Certainly, he was one of Jim’s favourites and when he was lost from the sport, Jim seriouly contemplated retiring.  As he put it “I just felt that nothing about the sport could ever be funny again.”  It took him a while to get his humour back and he was very keen to include Ayrton pieces when we started planning the `Heroes` collection.
So, you can imagine his delight when Clive Chapman and the Senna Foundation agreed to allow Jim to release `Heroes` tributes celebrating two of Ayrton’s most famous wins : his first ever, in the iconic black `JPS` at Estoril in 1985 and his last for Lotus, in the yellow 99T, at Detroit in 1987.
The models are in production now and should be with us late in September. They are limited editions of just 2000 pieces of each deisgn and are sure to be a hit with collectors as well as popular gifts for motsport fans generally.

The retail price will be £39.99 each. If you would like to reserve one, or both, please contact us via the site or email Simon at shf@fludes-sh.com.  There will be no need to confirm an order until actual photgraphs of each piece are available.
