Nick Mason has one not to mention all his other cars in his collection. He's got the sweetest car collection. Not as much as Leno or the Sultan of Brunei, but quality!!!

Yeah, they got huge collections. Mason has only about 30 cars but some of the greatest in my book. Bunch of Ferraris 250 GTO, 512BBLM, F40 just to name a few, Maseratis including a T-61 Birdcage, 250F, Lotus 18, Porsche 935, McLaren F1LM, Jags, Astons, the list goes on.

it toured the country as part of the "Parade of Progress" tour. basically showing of GM's styling and technology for the future. that's why there's the display area in the side.

so i searched through about five hours of the auction last nitte for this car. it was beautiful. shelby was there and said, "i got caught doin 190mph in nevada in this car." the crowd was in a frenzy with each passing million. when the gavel dropped at 5mil, the camera focused on the winning bidder. he was completely without expression, signed the buyer's papers, and never ONCE smiled.

one announcer said something to the effect of "c'mon rick, smile, you've just bought the most expensive car ever at barrett-jackson"

the other announcer says, "i'll NEVER play poker with him"

lol
