Rock legend, drumming icon, and certified petrolhead Nick Mason is putting one seriously unique car under the hammer — a rare Pink Floyd edition of the 1995 Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet Mk3. Yes, you read that right — Pink Floyd had their own car! 🚗💨
Back in the mid-90s, Volkswagen sponsored European tours by Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, and Bon Jovi, creating special-edition Golf Mk3 models for each band. Each version featured distinctive band branding and trim — making them the perfect collectible crossover between music and motors.
Fast-forward to 2025, and Mason, who’s been collecting and racing cars for over half a century, is auctioning off his very own Pink Floyd Golf to raise funds for the Harefield Healing Garden Charity. ❤️
The 81-year-old legend’s car collection is already the stuff of motoring myths — it even includes one of just 39 Ferrari 250 GTOs, valued north of £30 million. But this VW holds something a little more personal. Mason originally snapped up the worn and weathered Pink Floyd Golf “some years ago” with the idea of restoring it. Now, instead of hitting the track, he’s giving it a new life for a good cause. 🌱
The auction lot includes:
The Pink Floyd Golf Cabriolet Mk3 itself A treasure trove of original VW parts and memorabilia Various Pink Floyd items emblazoned with Mason’s signature And, of course, Mason will personally sign the car 🖊️
Iconic Auctioneers will handle the sale at 11 a.m. on Saturday 8 November 2025 at the NEC in Birmingham, with all proceeds going directly to charity.
For VW collectors, classic car nuts, or Pink Floyd die-hards, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a piece of motoring and rock history. 🏁🎶
As Mason himself might say — “Careful with that clutch, Eugene…” 😎

Tidy little motor for a good cause, mun.
Only in rock ’n’ roll could a VW Golf become a museum-worthy relic — but when Pink Floyd and Nick Mason are involved, even a hatchback turns legendary. 🏴🤘

With a lifelong passion for loud guitars, unforgettable live shows, and the incredible community that surrounds rock and metal, he created The Riff Report to celebrate everything that makes the scene special—from legendary headline acts and grassroots venues to rising bands that deserve to be heard.
A familiar face at festivals across the UK, Michael spends much of the year covering events including Download Festival, Bloodstock Open Air, Steelhouse Festival, Firevolt, Plumpton Revival, and many more. Whether he’s battling the Welsh weather on a mountainside, surviving a weekend in a muddy campsite, or squeezed against the front barrier with thousands of fellow fans, he’s always searching for the next great story to share.
As editor of The Riff Report, Michael writes festival guides, breaking news, album reviews, gig reviews, interviews, opinion pieces, nostalgia features, and behind-the-scenes stories from across the rock and metal world. His writing combines honest opinions, humour, and a genuine love for live music, bringing readers closer to the bands, festivals, venues, and people that keep the scene alive.
Michael is particularly passionate about supporting independent artists, local venues, charities, and the wider UK rock and metal community. He believes every band deserves a chance to be discovered and every festival has a story worth telling. Through The Riff Report, he aims to shine a spotlight on both the biggest names in rock and the future stars waiting to break through.
When he’s not writing or interviewing artists, you’ll probably find him exploring festival campsites, photographing live shows, chatting with fellow fans over a pint, or planning the next road trip in search of more riffs, bigger crowds, and unforgettable moments.
Above all, Michael believes rock and metal are about more than music—they’re about community, friendship, and creating memories that last a lifetime. That’s exactly what The Riff Report exists to celebrate.
Proudly Welsh. Proudly Loud. Always chasing the next great riff. 🤘
