The incredible original example presented here, Chassis #WBS59910004301211, is 1 of just 59 examples finished in Blue over black leather interior with cloth inlays. This M1 has just 15,560 kilometers and boasts a well-documented history from new and an iconic first owner who cherished the car for 42 years.

This BMW M1 was completed on March 13th, 1979 and remained in Germany until delivery. All of the original documentation we have on file confirms that this BMW M1's first owner was one of the founders of the legendary band, Pink Floyd. Shortly after purchasing the car out of Germany, the original owner had it imported into the United Kingdom on April 5th, 1980. The original order form billed out to the legendary band member and the rest of his initial purchase documentation is included in the sale.

Today, the car presents in fantastic condition as a two-owner, preservation quality car. This is a special opportunity to own one of the most original M1 examples remaining bolstered by extensive documentation and single ownership for the first 42 years of its life. This M1 represents a unique piece of history in the timeline of Pink Floyd’s popularity. Purchased in the midst of the band’s iconic album release, by a founding member, at one of the most crazed and popular times for the band. This M1 is not only a time-capsule example, it is also a piece of musical history making it a must-have for any serious Pink Floyd enthusiast. This marks the first time it has ever been publicly offered for sale.

Included with the car are original sales documents, past registrations, Pink Floyd Backstage Pass from “The Wall Tour” circa February 1980, extensive service records, tool kit, manuals, and spare tire.
