Nick Mason takes Brian Johnson for a nice spin in the Italian beauty…

You’re in for a real treat with a video of Nick Mason, the drummer from Pink Floyd, taking AC/DC lead singer Brian Johnson for a ride in Mason’s Ferrari 250 GTO. It’s not often you get to watch two rock ‘n roll legends climb into a legendary Ferrari and go for a spirited drive. What makes this even sweeter is the car, which is a real 250 GTO and not a replica, has a financial connection to Pink Floyd you might know nothing about.

Mason bought the Ferrari 250 GTO in 1978. As a founding member of Pink Floyd way back in 1965. Try not to choke, but the drummer paid only £35,000. The car is now valued at £40 million, so it was a good investment. But back in the late 70s he was enjoying his hard-won success, driving an absolutely stunning sports car from Maranello, and likely not thinking of the car as some lucrative investment.
