Probably teaching granny to suck eggs Rick but just in case, a couple of years ago Mr Mason turned down an offer of £35million for his 250! You’ve got some kenk when you can turn that down...!!!!

Apparently he takes the original engine out to race it, puts a race Ferrari engine in, then puts the original lump back in after the weekend for show purposes, no matter how long it is between outings. He’s fairly dedicated to the cause.... :lol:
I have a great book called "Into the Red", co-written by Nick Mason and Mark Hayles. It is a review of testing a large selection of Mason's car collection on the track. Mason writes about why he bought the car, what he likes/dislikes etc. and Hayles writes about what they were like to drive "into the red".

Mason initially used his 250 GTO for the school run and was surprised when someone told him that it would be worth £5 million.

That was a few years' ago - turned out to be a good investment!

I've always loved the engineering gone into McLarens, but this has tipped the scales and gone straight to the top of the "want" pile
