A 1996 McLaren F1 GTR previously owned by Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason has sold for $34.6 million, according to autoevolution. The sale took place during the Monterey auction week, with RM Sotheby’s handling the transaction, as reported by AUTOJOSH.
The price marks a record for the model, with motor1.com also confirming the figure. The car’s celebrity provenance—Mason, a founding member of Pink Floyd—likely contributed to the strong result, though the vehicle’s racing pedigree as an F1 GTR also played a role.
Autoevolution notes the sale as a record-breaking moment for the specific chassis. The F1 GTR is among the most coveted track-focused variants of McLaren’s iconic F1 road car, and examples with notable ownership histories are rare. The auction result places it among the top earners at the Monterey event, with AUTOJOSH listing it as one of the best sellers, trailing only a $40 million Ferrari Luce.
The sale underscores the continued strength of the collector car market for ultra-rare 1990s supercars. With the F1 GTR now setting a new benchmark, attention will likely turn to whether other celebrity-owned examples can match or exceed this figure in future auctions.
