"  Photo by Adam Jacob&amp;#039;s Photography  A sculpture that features Ayrton Senna&amp;#039;s McLaren MP4/6 from his last season as World Champion is to be sold by COYS at its N\u00FCrburgring sale in Germany on August 13th. The gigantic Airfix sculpture was unveiled to the public on Saturday, July 16th at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire when COYS hosted its annual Concours d&amp;#039; Elegance and auction at the historic venue \u2013 and there to see it unveiled was Ayrton Senna&amp;#039;s former manager, Dennis Rushen. Dennis, who was team manager in Ayrton&amp;#039;s formative years said: &amp;quot;I was really impressed with the Senna sculpture. Such a clever idea and it really stands out as something really different. He was really into models and he would have appreciated the concept.&amp;quot; There has been renewed interest in Ayrton Senna since the film &amp;quot;Senna&amp;quot; went on general release at cinemas a few weeks ago and the auction house has received a huge amount of interest in the sculpture since it was pictured in their catalogue. Said Chris Routledge from COYS, &amp;quot;It really is a fantastic sculpture that would not be out of place in a design or motor museum or on the wall of a corporate office. We believe that it will sell for between \u00A330,000 ($49,000) and \u00A350,000 ($82,000).&amp;quot; The Formula 1 car was dismantled by McLaren and given to artist Jay Burridge who turned it into the gigantic &amp;quot;Airfix kit&amp;quot; in 1992.
