The McLaren Formula One car legendary driver Ayrton Senna drove to win the 1993 Monaco Grand Prix will come up for auction later in the year during Bonhams' Monaco event. McLaren-Ford MP4/8A chassis no. 6 is the actual car Senna used to compete in eight of the season's F1 races, and it's still in running condition today.

Welcome to You Must Buy, our daily look at the cars you really should be buying instead of that boring commuter car.



Powered by a Ford-supplied "HB" Cosworth V8 engine, the MP4/8A features an active suspension system as well as McLaren's iconic Marlboro livery. It was this car that Senna used to win Monaco for the sixth and final time in his career, breaking Graham Hill's record for most Monaco Grand Prix wins. He also drove chassis no. 6 in the Italian, Belgian, German, British, and French Grands Prix.

Here's an onboard video of Senna's record-breaking run at Monaco:

There's no question this is one of the most historically significant F1 cars of all time. The fact it's still in running condition is just a bonus for whoever is lucky enough to buy it. No price estimate is mentioned on Bonhams' site, but expect the hammer to fall deep into the seven-figure mark.
