    Nick Mason (Pink Floyds drummer) the one talking to Jean Todt has owned that car since the early 70's and didn't pay a lot for it and used it to pick his child up from school regularly in it.

    He is a regular racer in the various classic racing often in his 250Gto amongst others

    Is that Nick Mason? Doesnt look like him to me, but he'll be getting old now. He's a car nut and has an Enzo too (the one on Top Gear was his).

    I believe the show had a tribute to Mason's collection which is why (I think) you can see the T-3's rear wing on the right of the photo

    Nick Mason, Pink Floyd's drummer from the beginning, is the second one from the right. He bought his 250 GTO when the market for them was poor, and almost thereafter, prices escalated into the millions.

    He races them at many events, including the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

    Oh yeah, and he doesn't care if it's raining or not. True car guy!

    He also sits on the board of a prestige car dealer (I think its H R Owen, but not 100% sure). True car nut.

    You're right, it's Nick Mason and Jean Todt in front of 250 GTO s/n 3757GT.
    Other Ferrari cars presented by Mason were the 312 T3 s/n 034 and 512 S s/n 1026.
