We can now reveal that we have been collaborating with McLaren Automotive to develop an exclusive Limited Edition of 1:8 scale models perfectly replicating the McLaren Senna in its newly revealed Senna Sempre livery. Limited to just 30 pieces, this special edition is a celebration of the life and legacy of legendary Brazilian racer Ayrton Senna, and will become a much sought after collectable, especially appealing to McLaren Racing’s most ardent followers who also appreciate art and design.
The #1 model in the edition has already been delivered to McLaren Automotive in time for the real car’s launch ahead of this year’s Monaco Grand Prix. Number #30 in the edition has been reserved for the Senna family, whilst the remaining 28 models in this exceptional edition are now available to pre-order exclusively and directly on our website or through our sales team.

Paints selected for the Senna Sempre livery reflect the colours of the Brazilian flag, with bright yellow, green and blue tones brought together using a wash technique newly developed by MSO.
Honouring the Formula 1 career of Ayrton Senna including his three Formula 1 Drivers’ World Championships and five consecutive wins at the Monaco Grand Prix with McLaren.
Each model is the result of 3000 plus hours of skilled design and development. The basis of the model is the confidential CAD data shared with us by McLaren Automotive. Exercising all their outstanding skill and artistry, the team set about reworking the CAD before 3D printing and hand working hundreds of patterns. Moulds were made, and every part was cast in prototyping resin, then fettled and fitted, painted and assembled into these impressive artworks in a process that takes over 300 hours in total.
Every visible detail of the Senna Sempre livery has been captured and perfectly replicated, from the vibrant colours inspired by Ayrton’s iconic racing helmet, alongside the subtle inclusion of symbolic numbers from his career to, perhaps the most significant detail, the quote inscribed within the cockpit "I have no idols. I admire work, dedication and competence" – words from Ayrton himself that perfectly capture MSO’s approach to this remarkable livery.
