Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason has kindly lent his rare and precious Ferrari Enzo to Classic Cars Live! Show to appear as part of the Future Classics display at Alexandra Palace, London this weekend.

Only 399 Enzos were made between 2002 and 2004 and all cars were sold to an elite list of favoured customers at a modest price tag of £500,000 each.

The discreet selling of the Enzo has meant that the car has hardly ever been seen by the public outside the pages of magazines or newspapers.

Phil Bell, editor of Classic Cars Magazine commented: "We’re delighted to be able to offer visitors to the show this unique chance to glace at one of the rarest, finest and most expensive cars on the planet. The Enzo is certainly tipped to be a classic car of the future."

Named Enzo after the firm's founder, Enzo Ferrari, the super car houses a 650bhp 6-litre V12 engine which delivers a top speed of 217mph and reaches 0-60mph in an incredible 3.5 seconds.

The Enzo will sit alongside an Aston Martin Vanquish, Morgan Aero 8 GTN, Ford Mustang GTV8 Coupe and a Pagani Zonda S as part of the Future Classics display.
