David Beckham's Sports Car Collection

David Beckham's Sports Car Collection

Over the last ten years David Beckham has become a sporting icon and a real asset to the English game, with many describing him as a true professional, role model and real family man. During his time as a footballer in the UK, Spain, Italy and now over in the US one thing has always remained - his love for cars and flashy motors.

David has built up a nice portfolio of high-powered vehicles over the years and on moving to Spain and America he has had a number of vehicles transported overseas. His collection includes a Bentley Continental worth £110,000, a Bentley Continental GT worth £145,000, a Range Rover Sport which brand new cost £80,000 including full leather initialled interior, and not to mention his Lamborghini Gallardo which was worth £170,000 when new. 


David's most prized asset and his all-time favourite car was his limited edition black Rolls-Royce Phantom Drop Head Coupe that he bought back in 2008, costing him £350,000. He then spent a further £100,000 having it personally customised.
He personally oversaw every additional design to the car and asked for it to be fitted with tinted windows, a black Spirit of Ecstasy, and huge black 24-inch alloys which costing £30,000 alone.
Since his move to America and the addition to his family with the birth of his new daughter Harper Seven his latest addition is a Cadillac Escalade, a more humble family car some might say. The car cost him £80,000 US dollars and, you guessed, it's customised with all-black fittings. When he wants a more down to earth, upper class ride this is the car he chooses and he can be regularly seen around Los Angeles and Beverly Hills area with the family in the back.



Since his time as a footballer David has worked exceptionally hard and achieved more than most professional footballers. He has won the league title in the English premier league playing for Manchester United, the La Liga title with Real Madrid, the Italian league title while on loan at AC Milan and during the 2011-2012 MLS Season he had a big impact in helping LA Galaxy win their first MLS title. David has played for few clubs but has definitely had more cars. Previous cars include a Porsche Cayenne 911, a 993, a 997 Cabriolet and a Carrera, various Bentleys, BMWs, Ferraris, Jaguars, Lamborghinis, Mercedes, Rolls-Royces and a classic Aston Martin V8. His latest craze is for motorbikes however and he has had three Harley Davidson bikes customised to fit in with his DB7 range.
