Pink Floyd legend’s Audi RS6 Avant for sale

Nick Mason is a renowned petrolhead and counts a 1901 Panhard, among his collection.

On top of the stunning performance, the RS6 Avant’s boot 455-litre boot is also handy for transporting goods, including Mason’s drum kit.
Just 999 Audi RS6 Avant Specials were ever built with Mason’s number 428 of the production run.
A new Audi RS6 Avant went on sale this year, raising the level of performance for an estate vehicle boasting a stratospheric 572bhp.
