Nick Mason's car is photographed in Graham Robson's Super Profile book
I never knew Nick Mason had a Strato's! Google brought up an article that says:
'MANY OTHER FERRARIS HAVE COME AND GONE over the years, including a Dino 246 GTS which became a part exchange for a Lancia Stratos. “I am really sorry I sold the Lancia,” Mason says. “It was a very tricky car but really exotic and an extraordinary idea.'
He's always had impeccable taste.

Yeah, just found that out from someone else!
Green I think?
Complete with bull bars, IIRC!
It's the green car photographed in that book that made me really want one in green, as a 10 year old kid!

I believe Simon Park, composer of "Eye Level", Van der Valk theme, also bought a Stratos.
Surely there must be more famous owners?
Spoke to Rob Whitehouse the film director in Hoznayo who has also owned two original Stratos in his time. Currently campaigning an Olio Fiat liveried 037 but says he is considering a Stratos rep for fun.

Rowan Atkinson used to have one?
Yes, Ian Frazer one time editor (and owner) of Car magazine, also owns a Stratos, partially because of driving Nick Masons' https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/featur...hive-may-1979/
and Ian in turn gave me my first ride in a Stratos
Note, the pukka and very very rare recliner seat in the BUC car?
Nick Mason's car was red with thin tubular chrome over bumpers, of all things.
The car that the moulds were taken from was a green Stradale FYH 4V (also shown in the Super Profile book) that belonged to Roger Perry.
After that, it was painted a mid blue metallic and fitted with 15" dayglo red magnesium coffin spokes (10" on the rear).
Here's me with Simon Park's (the music composer) red Stradale at Coy's Historic, Silverstone:
