\n Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason was sat in the passenger seat of his 1901 Panhard Et Levassor for RM Sotheby\u2019s Veteran Car Run today.\n<\/p>\n

\n The 81-year-old takes part most years.\n<\/p>\n

\n The event, in its 129th year, sees participants drive from London\u2019s Hyde Park to Madeira Drive in Brighton in a variety of historic motors<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\n The run has been taking place every year since 1939, with variations of the event beginning in 1897.\n<\/p>\n

\n The event commemorates the famous Emancipation Run of November 1896, which celebrated the removal of \u201cdraconian restrictions\u201d against motor vehicles, including a four mile per hour speed limit and the requirement for someone to walk ahead of a vehicle.\n<\/p>\n

\n Pink\u00a0Floyd\u00a0were formed by Mason, singer Syd Barrett, guitarist and singer Roger Waters, and keyboardist Richard Wright in the mid-1960s, before the group were later joined by singer and guitarist David Gilmour.\n<\/p>\n

\n The band is best known for the albums Dark Side Of The Moon (1973), Animals (1977), and The Wall (1979), as well as songs such as Comfortably Numb, Another Brick In The Wall and Money.\n<\/p>\n

\n Mason\u2019s bandmate David Gilmour has been trying to sell his seafront home in Hove for several years<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\n Construction of Medina House was completed in 2020 but the house was put on sale only two years later and is now listed with an asking price of \u00a310 million.\n<\/p>\n

\n Located on King’s Esplanade in Hove, the custom-built seafront mansion, designed by award-winning architect Keb Gavarito-Bruhn, replaced a former 19th-century bathhouse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason was sat in the passenger seat of his 1901 Panhard Et Levassor for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":239958,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[96,128,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-239957","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-music","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=239957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239957\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/239958"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=239957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=239957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
