At the height of his playing career at Manchester United, Becks owned a stunning vintage Aston Martin V8 Volante – one of just 78 ever made – and was often spied cruising around west London with wife Victoria in the luxury motor.
Incredibly, the beautiful car is on sale with AutoTrader for a whopping £445,000, and could be all yours.
THE SPECS
Coming in a cherry red, it boasts cream leather interiors, deep pile carpets, and burr walnut, as well as a well-sought after X Pack engine.
Built with a manual five speed gearbox and 432 hp, this special V8 can also hit 0-60mph in just 5.2 seconds.
It boasts a top speed of 168mph too, so it’s no slouch.
A 15 YEAR LOVE AFFAIR
Beckham held onto his Volante for 15 years before selling it in 2018. Originally, it was registered under the England legend’s personal plate ‘DB1001′, which made him instantly recognisable to fans and the paparazzi.
‘Golden Balls’ was so in love with his Aston Martin, when he made the move to Real Madrid in 2003 he had it shipped to Spain and drove it there.
In terms of its condition, it’s been kept pristine through the years, has just 38,100 miles on the clock, and was showcased at the London Classic Car Show in February before lockdown.

AutoTrader’s spokesperson and car expert Rory Reid revealed: “We know David Beckham is a bit of a petrolhead, owning cars ranging from Bentleys and Rolls-Royces to, of course, Aston Martins.
“This AMV8 Volante is a gorgeous classic so I’m not surprised he held on to it for so long.
“It’s cool to know someone in the public can now buy this car – well as long as you’ve got half a million spare of course – just by heading onto Auto Trader.”
