Pink Floyd drummer and co-founder Nick Mason will put up for auction his Pink Floyd Edition Volkswagon Golf Cabriolet. The auction, to be held Nov. 8, will benefit Harefield Healing Garden Charity.
VW issued the special edition in the mid-’90s when it sponsored Floyd’s tour of The Division Bell. Based on the Mk3 Golf Cabriolet, the Pink Floyd Edition features unique badging, color-keyed bumpers and mirrors, special seat upholstery inspired by the ’94 European leg of the tour, and a high-quality sound system with factory Pink Floyd logos.
Few examples of the Pink Floyd Edition are believed to still exist today, and this is the only example once-owned by a member of the band.
Mason acquired it many years ago with the intention of restoring it to its original condition — a project that went unfinished.
Winner of the auction will also receive:
- A pair of signed drumsticks
- A signed copy of “Into The Red,” Mason’s book about classic racing cars
- Four signed Floyd LPs
- A selection of Floyd and Volkswagen t-shirts; and
- Several signed DVDs, including “The Story of Wish You Were Here,” on the album’s 50th anniversary this year
Mason will sign the car, purple with manual transmission, and a photo of his signing will also accompany the auction package.
Harefield Healing Garden is a natural space within the grounds of the Harefield Hospital that provides a sanctuary from the stress and anxieties of the hospital’s wards and theatres for patients and their families.
The Iconic Auctioneers auction takes place Saturday , Nov. 8 at 11.00 a.m. local time at NEC, Birmingham.
Addendum (Nov. 17, 2025): The car sold for: £7,875
