Nick Mason buys 41st car for London to Brighton



Apologies to some younger visitors who may only have seen him in the Olympics Closing Ceremony, but the Pink Floyd drummer is a huge name in the classic car world.

He has bought a 1901 5 litre Peugeot to participate in his 27th London to Brighton run, on the grounds that it has about the biggest engine of any car of the time, so it should be able to get up the hills with greater ease than cars he has previously driven.
