Nick Mason
Rare Pink Floyd Model Van
Pink Floyd: The Early Years 1965-72 Rare Scale Model Replica, Oxford
Diecast model of the 1st Tour Van, A Black Bedford bought by “The
Tea Set” in 1965 who went on to become Pink Floyd. Produced in very
limited numbers for the retrospective The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their
Mortal Remains (2017) at the V&A Museum, and presented in a plastic
display box.
Nick Mason gives a wry smile when he recalls the “highly unreliable”
old Bedford. “The moment we got an advance, we bought a Transit,” he
adds. “The one with twin wheels at the back was an absolute must-have.
All bands either had a Transit or wanted one.” THE black Bedford van
was originally bought for the princely sum of £20.
Nick Mason is one of the world’s most accomplished drummers, and
as co-founder of Pink Floyd the only member to feature on every Pink
Floyd album. In 2018 Nick formed a new band, Nick Mason’s Saucerful
of Secrets, with former Blockheads guitarist Lee Harris, bassist and
Pink Floyd collaborator Guy Pratt, vocalist and guitarist Gary Kemp of
Spandau Ballet, and Orb keyboardist Dom Beken.
