His remarkable collection boasts icons like the Ferrari 250 GTO and Porsche 962, and he’s not just a collector—he’s a dedicated racer, competing in prestigious events like the Goodwood Revival and Le Mans Classic.
With his garage valued at over $70 million—surpassing even his music career earnings—Mason’s love for cars merges history, engineering, and speed. And he's not alone; fellow UK musician James Hetfield also has an extraordinary car collection. Let’s take a closer look at the legendary machines in Mason’s garage and dive into his exhilarating automotive journey.
16. 1957 Maserati 250F

Renowned for its lightweight design and race-winning potential, the Maserati 250F holds a legendary place in motorsport. Mason's model is one of just 26 ever built by Maserati in Italy. In an interview, he called it "the archetypal Grand Prix car," underscoring its iconic status and timeless appeal in the world of racing.

14. 1901 Panhard B1 5-liter
The 1901 Panhard, the oldest car in Nick Mason’s collection, still holds significant value today.

As for the car itself, it was made by the French company Panhard, which no longer exists, while its coachwork was done at Roi-Des-Belges.
13. Ferrari SF90 Stradale
Nick Mason’s garage boasts three modern Ferraris, and the standout among them is the stunning SF90 Stradale, draped in a rich Tour de France blue.

12. 1953 Ferrari 250MM
In 2011, Nick Mason added the iconic 1953 Ferrari 250MM to his collection, a car now worth a fortune.

A closer look reveals a unique touch—a Spanish sponsorship on its nose reading "no hay dos" ("nothing better"), and we couldn’t agree more. This Ferrari truly stands out as one of a kind.
11. Ferrari LaFerrari
One of the rare 499 Ferrari LaFerraris resides in Nick Mason's collection, and true to form, it’s finished in a unique Blue Pozi color, perfectly complementing his other Ferraris.
