If they weren't Senna's as is evident, how did you get £600 for them?
This particular model of OMP glove has two types of sellers and buyers. The first type does not know they were used by Senna. They sell them as old nomex racing gloves. The second type does (possibly buying with the intent to create forgeries), and are willing to pay more.
A genuine set of certified Senna used gloves would sell for over 25,000$, possibly much more. Certified by his estate, or Viviane Senna, etc.
There was even that set of red OMP gloves sold as being used by Senna at Adelaide 1991 (donated by or in support of, a mechanics fund I believe). A simple Google search of the GP in question showed that they were the later OMP type (logo colors we know today), while in the GP (and all sessions) he used the earlier inverted OMP logo gloves. The later (current) OMP logo was not even in existence at that GP. Also the logo was the oversized version, which was created late 1993 early 1994. Senna never used the red version of this OMP glove with the oversized logo.
I was lambasted for pointing it out, the organisers saying the event was for charity, they were sure of the provenance, etc. While it was 100% false.
Having been an insider for the past decades, The Memorabilia Experience company is known for creating fake items. It has a reputation.
You will never find a single photograph or onboard video (not a single one) of Senna using red OMP gloves with the modern (uninverted) OMP logo in 1989. It did not exist in 1989.
Yet here they are for sale, "signed by Ayrton" no less (also size XS, wrong, as Senna used size medium):

It's hilarious. Labelled as 1989. In 1989 Senna OMP gloves did not feature an OMP logo. Let alone the modern (uninverted) colors (introduced late 1991).
It's hard to believe people are paying tens of thousands of dollars for fake items sold for 35$. It should be illegal to con people like this for decades. This company has been in existence for decades.
They'll pull this ad no doubt as soon as they're made aware of this post. Saying things like "We didn't know, of course we value authenticity, our sincerest apologies, etc." Easy to do since they paid 35$ for these gloves and were trying to sell them for tens of thousands.
It would be good to go through their sold inventory listings and contact each buyer to tell them what they actually bought, and bring about class action lawsuits. This is my personal opinion.
