"50" mph speed limit road sign, re-imagined in the colours of Aryton Senna's helmet and the Lotus 97T / 98T
This is a genuine, de-commissioned “50” mph speed limit Road Sign hand-painted in the colours of Ayrton Senna’s helmet and the Lotus JPS 97T and 98T and then aged to show some of the original colours and reflective parts of the original road sign underneath.
It measures approx. 22.5 inches square / 57.5cm square.
*** Please note that this road sign does have a slight bend in the frame on one side, as shown in one of the photos, this only adds to it’s genuine, used condition ***
The John Player Special cigarette brands colours were black and gold and were used on Lotus F1 cars such as the Lotus 72D in which Emerson Fittipaldi won the 1972 Formula One Driver’s Championship at the age of 25 and the Lotus 79 in which Mario Andretti won the Driver’s Championship in 1978.
Ayrton Senna also drove the JPS liveried Lotus 97T in the 1985 Championship, taking 7 poles and 2 wins and the Lotus 98T in 1986, with 2 wins.
Senna’s helmet design was inspired by his Brazilian homeland. The yellow, green and blue design debuted during his karting day’s in the late 1970’s and was designed by Cloacyr Sidney Fly, better known as Sid Mosca.
