David Beckham treating himself to a new Bentley
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
With a BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Porsche and Hummer in the garage, even the most dedicated of motor lovers might feel satisfied.
But not David Beckham.
The footballer unveiled the latest car in his collection yesterday – a silver Bentley.
As a Thanksgiving treat it certainly beats pumpkin pie.
But compared to wife Victoria’s $1.5million collection of Birkin handbags – all virtually identical – it perhaps doesn’t seem so wasteful.
The Bentley joins the fleet of vehicles on hand in the Beckham’s U.S. garage.
But with so many cars to choose from Beckham wasn’t at the Bentley’s wheel for long.
After taking it for a drive yesterday he later jumped into his Cadillac Escalade for a family trip to Nobu in Los Angeles.
This isn’t the first time the 34-year-old has splashed out on a Bentley.
His first, a £170,000 which he spent a further £70,000 customising, was left behind in the UK when he moved to Spain.
It was later put up for sale on AutoTrader, complete with a fridge, diamond cross handles and televisions in the rear seats.
Since moving to the States Beckham has been busy building his collection back up.
He is often spotted in a black – his preferred colour – £300,000 Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe, which he uses as a runaround to collect his sons from school, trailed by security.
His wife favours a £100,000 customised Porsche with her initials embroidered into the headrests, and engraved on the cars alloy rims.
Beckham has a matching one – which cost £200,000.
For family trips the couple also use a £24,000 Jeep Wrangler.
Then there are his Aston martins – a V8 and a DB7. Another £120,000 was splashed out on a Lamborghini Gallardo.
And as for Ferraris, he has variously owned a 360 Spider, F430, F550 and 550 Maranello.
