This 1:2 scale model was built in the likeness of the Lotus 97T driven by Ayrton Senna during the 1985 Formula One season. The fiberglass replica wears a black-and-gold #12 John Player Special livery. Features include front and rear wings, Goodyear-branded rubber tires, a fixed-back seat, a faux harness, and a three-spoke steering wheel. Acquired by the seller in November 2025, this 97T-style display model is now offered at no reserve in Pompano Beach, Florida.
Designed by Gérard Ducarouge and Martin Ogilvie, the 97T was driven by Ayrton Senna and Elio de Angelis during the 1985 Formula One World Championship. Notable features included bargeboards between the front wheels and side pods, as well as winglets relocated to the trailing edges of the side pods. The team achieved nine podium finishes with the 97T that year, as well as fourth place in the World Constructors’ Championship.
