Nick Mason
This article talks about the impressive car collection of Nick Mason, drummer, co-founder, and the only permanent member of Pink Floyd.
The rhythm of a legendary band like Pink Floyd comes from its drummer. If the drummer gets behind the wheel, the engine’s rhythm inevitably changes. For the better. That’s what has always happened with Nick Mason, drummer, co-founder and the only permanent member of Pink Floyd. Everyone knows him but it’s worth remembering that his band has sold more than 250 million records worldwide, something that has allowed him to turn his great passion for cars into a reality. His collection of classic models is truly magnificent and contains pieces of absolute excellence, first among all the 250 GTO #3757. But it’s not enough for him to collect them. It would be like owning a set of drums and never playing them. He drives them, he drives his classic cars in races dedicated to them, such as the Goodwood Revival and Le Mans Classic.
His passion combines with a genuine skill that has allowed him to be invited as a judge at great international competitions such as Villa d’Este and peninsula Best of the Best, and he drives real racing cars like he did at Le Mans 24 Hours where he participated for several years from 1979 to 1984 scoring two class podiums. His passion also led him to write. His book, “Into the red” co-authored with Mark Hales is an authentic bestseller.
We are delighted to present some of the cars from his collection.
